Heartbeat for Hope: Drive for Hope

On May 24th and May 25th, 2025,

the Medical Cadets team held our first-ever community car wash as part of our 2025 project: Heartbeat for Hope. The goal was simple but powerful: raise awareness about congenital heart disease (CHD) while bringing the community together to support a meaningful cause.

Armed with soap, buckets, and plenty of energy, our volunteers went door-to-door to educate people about CHD and invite them to join the effort. In just eight hours, we managed to:

• Raise $1,000 in donations

• Speak directly with 100+ community members about CHD awareness

• Spread our mission of making healthcare more accessible through grassroots outreach

Beyond the sparkling cars, what made this event special was the conversations. Each interaction was a chance to share knowledge, answer questions, and remind people that small efforts can make a huge difference in saving lives.

This was more than just a fundraiser — it was a chance to unite the community under a common cause. And this is only the beginning. Together, we’re driving change, one car at a time.
