For the second year, Kia America celebrates the holidays with a fundraising drive benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is recognized as a leader in medical research and treatment, and the funds raised will be used to fund treatment and find cures for serious children’s diseases. In 2023, Kia’s event, known as Accelerate the Good, raised $1.35 million. As a result, the automaker was the St. Jude New Corporate Partner of the Year last year.
This year, Accelerate the Good will run from November 16 through January 2, 2024. The automaker will make a donation to St. Jude for every new Kia that is leased or sold and delivered during that time period. In addition, the automaker is encouraging its various vendors and employees to make additional donations. Kia is running a television commercial called “The Season of Giving Back” to raise awareness about the fundraiser. St. Jude is recognized for never sending bills to those who receive treatment for cancer and other serious conditions, and Kia is proud to support St. Jude in this area.
While this is only the second year that Kia has partnered with St. Jude for the Accelerate the Good fundraiser, this event has been ongoing since 2019 with other organizations. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $22 million. The money raised in previous years has supported organizations focused on military family aid, natural disaster assistance, homelessness, and hunger relief.
