Established in 2004 by Rick Hendrick’s brother, the late John L. Hendrick, the Hendrick Foundation for Children supports programs and services that benefit youngsters with illness, injury, disability or other hindrance. Continued in John Hendrick’s memory, the organization has raised millions of dollars toward community-oriented initiatives that improve the quality of children’s lives. The Foundation committed $3 million in 2005 to assist in the establishment of Charlotte’s 12-story, 234-room Levine Children’s Hospital, a world-class facility dedicated to the needs of children and their families. In recognition of the gift, the hospital dedicated its pediatric intensive care centers in honor of Rick Hendrick’s late son, Ricky. The hospital opened in October 2007.
In April 2004, Hendrick Automotive Group donated $1 million toward the construction of the Joe Hendrick Center for Automotive Technology at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC). Located on the Matthews, N.C., campus of CPCC, the largest community college in North Carolina, the facility provides cost-effective, state-of-the-art training to prepare students for future careers in the automotive industry. Named for Rick Hendrick’s late father, the Joe Hendrick Center opened in the fall of 2006.

800,000 children and their families in the Carolinas are at risk of hunger each day.Join the fight against hunger in your community.The Honda Dealers of the Carolinas continue to be involved in helping their local communities and because of that, they are proud to partner with 8 local food banks in the Carolinas for "Honda Against Hunger." The dealers collected food the early part of 2011 when food banks were low on food items and donations are greatly needed. The food collected at the local dealerships was distributed in their local communities to help the fight against hunger.
Employees and customers help us collect Cell Phones for Soldiers. This is such a great program and we wanted to help in their mission to collect one million phones! This program is still ongoing.
2010: Our GM, Cam Stewart was privileged to present Rock Hill's Teacher of the Year, Julia Marshall with a $600 gift card to the Grove Park Inn (from the Greater Charlotte Automobile Dealers Association) and some flowers today at Oakdale Elementary. Principal McVann was great in helping us coordinate a perfect time and keeping our visit a secret. Ms. Marshall was thrilled with the token of appreciation! HCRH gave her an “event” with Homer the dragon of the Charlotte Knights. It just so happens that Oakdale’s mascot is a dragon and Ms. Marshall’s son plays professional baseball (and at one time with the Knights) so it was a perfect fit for her! We got Julie Storm from CN2 to cover the event so be sure to watch tonight! Congratulations Julia Marshall and Thank You for all you do!!!
We love getting together every year to celebrate and thank our customers.
Each Year we provide The Knights with a different Honda for Homer to drive to all of his events.
