Nashville, Tenn. (August 5, 2026) — Leading global tire manufacturer Hankook Tire placed first in the Special Olympics Tennessee 2026 Music City Corporate Challenge. After announcing its partnership earlier this summer with Special Olympics Tennessee, employees from Hankook Tire’s US headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., participated in the month-long Olympic-style challenge dedicated to promoting health, wellness, and camaraderie in the Nashville business community. All employees were welcome to participate, and Hankook Tire also came first in its division for its fundraising efforts, raising over $5,000 for the local organization.

As an official partner of Special Olympics Tennessee, Hankook Tire aims to expand its local community engagement and drive regional sustainable growth in Nashville, home to its North American headquarters. Special Olympics Tennessee is a non-profit organization centered on providing year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

“We are thrilled to be crowned champions of this year’s Music City Corporate Challenge, and even more so to continue our work with Special Olympics Tennessee,” said Rob Williams, President of Hankook Tire America Corp. “I am proud of all the employees who participated and fundraised. This challenge brought us together as a company and a business community to have fun and support the mission of Special Olympics Tennessee. We look forward to the next event!”

Continuing its partnership with Special Olympics Tennessee, Hankook Tire will also sponsor the Unified Fore Joy Topgolf ProAm on Sept. 18. The fundraising event, held at Topgolf Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Memphis, pairs each team with a Special Olympics Tennessee athlete for a day of golf activities while raising funds which directly support athletes across the state of Tennessee.
