Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) in partnership with Taste of Soul, created a contest to acknowledge the residents who are doing their part to make the city of Los Angeles a better place by awarding one winner with a brand-new car! The contest was so successful in 2017, that Hyundai decided to bring it back and better than ever with a new theme entitled, “Reimagine Everything at Taste of Soul Los Angeles.”
One of Hyundai’s commitments as a brand, is to “help the society” and “improve humankind,” which is why the company is inviting Angelinos to join them in solving some of the issues that affect the Los Angeles community by entering to win a 2018 Kona Limited Thunder Gray.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: Download the free Taste of Soul Mobile App using a smart phone from either the Apple App Store, the Android Market, or Google Play
Step 2: Follow the in-App instructions to register, includes providing the entrant’s name, age, email address, and city and state of residence
Step 3: Follow the instructions to visit HyundaiDiversity.com
After reading and accepting the terms and rules, follow the instructions to upload an original video (no more than 90 seconds) explaining how you are actively working to make the city of Los Angeles a better place for all.
Hyundai’s mission and values compliment their contest vision of reimagining a better Los Angeles and it was only right to lead the community by example. Recently, the company launched, “Hyundai’s Road to Taste of Soul,” where they highlighted four local organizations to give back to. This year, Hyundai decided to focus on local organizations that were helping children.
“One of the things that is unique about Hyundai is that we are a brand that likes to consider the possible and find new solutions to solving societal issues and any issues we have. We have done so from the history of our car company to our products and services and that extends to our commitment to society,” said director of Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity Inclusion at Hyundai Motor America, Zafar Brooks.
The first stop took place in early August at the 20th annual Mothers in Action Back to School Health & Family Festival. During the event Brooks, on behalf of Hyundai, presented the non-profit organization, Mother’s in Action with a $2500 check. The second stop took place later this month at the New Image Emergency Shelter for the Homeless. While there, Hyundai presented a $2500 donation. The third stop will take place in early September at actress Wendy Raquel Robinson’s Amazing Grace Conservatory. The final stop will take place at the 13th annual Taste of Soul where Brotherhood Crusade will receive a monetary donation.
“We are asking people to be a part of this journey of solving problems that affect our communities, and work together in bringing new solutions, that will benefit people, society, and the planet. That is what it’s really all about,” said Brooks.
In addition to the 2018 Kona sweepstakes, Hyundai will also be sponsoring the Hyundai Soundstage. Legendary artists like Ginuwine, Chante Moore, Kurtis Blow and Teddy Riley are ready to turn up the dial at Taste of Soul and hope you are ready to join them in the festivities.
Taste of Soul’s annual competition StarQuest, will also be happening in full force, as the audition finalists will get to perform in front of a panel of judges and festivalgoers, hopeful to take home first place.
