First Team Hyundai's Generosity Adds to Christmas Joy

2 December 1999

ADVISORY/Christmas Comes Early for Virginia Mother; First Team Hyundai's Generosity Adds to Christmas Joy

    --

WHAT:    On the soon to be aired Maury Povich Christmas Show, Hyundai 
         Motor America gifted Kimberly Walker with a brand new model 
         year 2000 Hyundai Elantra Wagon and First Team Hyundai will
         deliver the vehicle to Kimberly.

         Kimberly's 3-year-old daughter, Alycia, suffers from Xeoderma 
         Pigmentosum -- a medical condition that makes her allergic to 
         sunlight. The family could not financially afford a NASA cool 
         suit that would allow Kimberly to play outdoors during the 
         day, nor could they afford to purchase a new car. Their old 
         vehicle would break down on trips to the doctor. Maury 
         arranged for the presentation of the NASA suit to Kimberly, 
         and also for Hyundai Motor America to gift the family with a 
         brand new car the family desperately needs.

         Touched by Kimberly's story, First Team Hyundai, a Roanoke 
         dealership, offered to cover the cost for the state sales tax, 
         license transfer, and the state's personal tax for the Walker 
         family. As a result, the family will be able to drive away in
         a new car with no out-of-pocket expense.
