Seokgyo Corporation, which imports and sells Bridgestone Golf, raised 120 million KRW in donations.


Despite the adverse conditions caused by the cancellation of charity golf tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they raised 85.2 million KRW through a non-face-to-face 'Love Sharing Campaign' and added 34.91 million KRW collected by Chairman Min-gi Lee and other executives, totaling 120.11 million KRW. Compared to last year's 141.97 million KRW, this is a difference of 20 million KRW. Since starting in 2002, the cumulative amount has reached 1.287 billion KRW. The donations are delivered to St. Ga Welfare Hospital and Joseph Clinic, facilities that provide free medical care for indigent patients.



This year, the golf industry participated, including Golfzon, the Korea Mid-Amateur Golf Association, Eco Golf, and JTBC Mediacom. Bridgestone Golf's amateur team, advisory group, tour players, and clubs also joined in the effort. The Lee Seung-yeop Scholarship Foundation sponsored 15,000 masks. Donors receive stand bags and golf balls as gifts. Seokgyo Corporation expressed gratitude, saying, "We are thankful to be able to share that love, even if just a little, thanks to the help of many people."
