ST. JUDES

At Kia of Mankato, being part of this community means more than helping people find the right vehicle, it means showing up in ways that truly matter. One of the most meaningful ways we’ve been able to do that is through our continued support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This is a cause that goes far beyond us. As a brand, Kia is proud to be a Partner in Hope, supporting St. Jude’s in their mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases. What makes that mission so powerful is the way it directly impacts families, because at St. Jude, families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. It allows them to focus on what matters most: helping their child heal.

Here in Mankato, we’ve been honored to bring that mission closer to home. As the Title Sponsor of our local St. Jude Radio Telethon, we’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand what happens when a community comes together for something bigger than itself. Each year, the stories shared, the calls made, and the generosity shown create something truly unforgettable. It’s not just an event, it’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we all lean in.

There’s something incredibly moving about being part of it. You see the strength of families, the compassion of donors, and the willingness of a community to rally behind a cause that changes lives. It’s a moment where everything else pauses, and the focus becomes very clear: supporting children and giving them every possible chance at a healthy future.
