Hendrick Marrow Program

Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Motorsports, established the Hendrick Marrow Program in 1997 after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Even though he did not need a marrow transplant himself, he wanted to help other patients waiting to find a marrow match and a second chance at life.

The Hendrick Marrow Program works with Be The Match Foundation to support the work of the National Marrow Donor Program. It raises money to add more potential marrow donors to the Be The Match Registry, increasing the chances that more patients find their match. It also helps patients pay for some uninsured transplant costs, which are often a barrier to treatment.

You can help by donating at anytime, or by participating in upcoming events.  Be The Match Walk+Run in Charlotte, NC on September 28, 2013.

Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre

Our community extends further than Charlotte, NC, all the way to the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre (GGCC) on Mfangano Island in Lake Victoria in Kenya. Recently we donated for the 2013 Walk-A-Thon for Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre on April 20, 2013.

At GGCC,  over five hundred students are currently enrolled at the Christian-based school, where they consistently exceed the national average for end-of-year test scores. The students are among the poorest from Mfangano and the surrounding islands. Up to 65% of the people depend on government assistance for daily sustenance, and 60% of pregnant women are infected with HIV. The number of orphans increases each year as parents die from this disease.

Hendrick Honda shares the Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre's vision to give hope to, and empower, children who are victims of poverty and HIV/AIDS by providing them with a quality, Christian-based education.

Weddington Christian Academy

Hendrick Honda is a Gold Sponsor for Weddington Christian Academy. WCA's mission is to provide quality, Christian education in small classes to ensure optimum academic success and Christian nurturing.

We believe that you lead by example which is true with WCA.  Every year they participate in Operation Christmas Child, by filling a box with toys.  They also partner with Weddington United Methodist Church in supporting the Good Shepard Orphanage, where students donate and also, students in grades one through seven are pen pals with students at the orphanage, exchanging letters and pictures.

Every year Hendrick Honda donates a Honda for a raffle to help contribute to the Nazareth Children's Home.

Presently, Nazareth serves as a private childcare agency that provides specialized services to both children and their families. Their mission is two fold… first to bring love, stability and guidance to the children who come to them for help, and secondly to reunite these children with their families whenever possible.  They offer a complete continuum of care for the children, providing for every need. At Nazareth, young lives are being changed each day, for the better, and frowns are being turned upside down.
