Gimhae City-Pukyong Pig Farmers' Cooperative, "Supporting to Establish Gimhae High School Baseball as a Prestigious Team"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam Province and Bugyeong Pig Farming Cooperative support the Gimhae High School baseball team, which won the national championship title for the first time among high school baseball teams in the province.

On the 18th, Mayor Heo Seong-gon and Cooperative President Lee Jae-sik signed a support agreement at the city hall, attended by Gimhae High School Principal Park Kang-su, Alumni Association President Kim Tae-hwa, and Baseball Team Coach Park Moo-seung.

Accordingly, from this year until 2025, the city will provide 30 million KRW annually, and the cooperative will provide 10 million KRW annually, totaling 200 million KRW over five years.

The city secured the baseball team budget this year, recognizing that continuous interest and support from the local community are necessary for Gimhae High School to establish itself as a nationally renowned baseball powerhouse beyond just one championship win, and promised support together with Bugyeong Pig Farming Cooperative, which shares the same intention.

Prior to this, the city had supported 22 million KRW for one pitching machine and the replacement of 15 old air conditioners in the dormitory to assist Gimhae High School's training.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon and Cooperative President Lee Jae-sik said, "We ask the team to do their best in training so that the victory news of Gimhae High School baseball team's national championship can be delivered once again to citizens who have been fatigued for a long time due to COVID-19."
