KLPGA "First Sports Organization to Join Korean Red Cross High-Value Donor Club"

The Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) joined the Red Cross Creating Shared Value (RCSV), a social value certification program for corporations by the Korean Red Cross, on the 23rd.

It is the first sports organization to do so. Since 2013, KLPGA has raised and donated funds to the Korean Red Cross for relief efforts such as the 'Philippine Typhoon Victims Relief,' 'Nepal Earthquake Victims Relief,' 'Pohang Earthquake Victims Relief,' and 'Bread of Love' projects. This year, they donated 188 million KRW, including 6% of the prize money special contribution from the 42nd KLPGA Championship held in May under the theme 'Overcoming COVID-19, Fighting Korea!' and charity funds to medical staff fighting the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Recognized for their public contributions exceeding 200 million KRW in cumulative funds, KLPGA was registered as a member of the RCSV 100 million KRW Club. KLPGA also received the Red Cross Member Meritorious Service Honorary Medal, awarded by the Korean Red Cross to organizations contributing to the realization of shared social value. Kim Soon-mi, Senior Vice President, said, "We are truly pleased to continuously engage in sharing activities through the Korean Red Cross to create a better society," adding, "We will continue to strive to share the love we have received from golf fans."
