[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Halla Group announced on the 9th that it has donated 35.6 million KRW collected through the Anyang Halla Ice Hockey Team's 'Love Goal' fund to the city of Anyang.

The donation ceremony held on the 8th at Anyang City Hall was attended by Choi Dae-ho, Mayor of Anyang, Yang Seung-jun, captain of the Anyang Halla Ice Hockey Team, and Lee Hyun-ho, head of the Anyang Sharing Volunteer Group of the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest.

The Love Goal fund is accumulated based on the number of goals scored during the Asia League regular season by the Anyang Halla Ice Hockey Team (200,000 KRW per goal) and whether the team wins the series championship (10 million KRW). Anyang Halla donated a total of 35.6 million KRW, combining 25.6 million KRW from goals scored (128 goals) and 10 million KRW from the season championship by co-winning the 2019-2020 season.

The donated funds to Anyang will be used for the 'Didim Seed Bank' supporting the independence of low-income children and other sponsorship projects in Anyang.

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang said, "We are grateful for the unwavering support despite the difficult situation caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)," and added, "The donations will be used for children, youth, and other citizens of Anyang who need a helping hand."

Halla Group has been continuing its social contribution activities through the Love Goal fund for five years since 2016.
