Gwangju's 'Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign' Reaches 115 Degrees in One Month

The Shortest Period Ever to Reach 100 Degrees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign, which the Community Chest of Korea has been promoting nationwide since the 1st of last month under the slogan "Sharing, a social vaccine for all," has achieved an early 100-degree milestone.

The Gwangju Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Han Sangwon) raised 4.869 billion KRW, far exceeding the campaign goal of 4.21 billion KRW as of the 31st of last month, surpassing the 100-degree mark of the Love Temperature in the shortest period ever.

In just one month, the Love Temperature reached 115 degrees.

The Gwangju Community Chest of Korea regards the achievement of the campaign goal as a firm will and pride of Gwangju citizens who, after a lull in participation due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, have come together to overcome difficulties with the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign as a cornerstone.

This campaign attracted attention as Ansan, the Tokyo Olympic archery national representative, participated.

Player Ansan announced the start of the campaign by joining as the first donor at the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign launch ceremony and as a "Sharing Leader" (an individual donor who donates or pledges more than 1 million KRW) of the Community Chest of Korea.

Player An said, "As a citizen of Gwangju and a Sharing Leader of Gwangju Community Chest of Korea, I feel even more meaningful to have participated in achieving the Love Temperature 100 degrees of this Hope Sharing Campaign."

Jo Deokseon, Executive Committee Member of the Fundraising Division of the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea, stated, "Donations, which had slowed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, became the driving force thanks to the warmth of the citizens who participated in the sharing campaign with the spirit of overcoming difficulties together."

Additionally, Player An and Committee Member Jo shared their prayers for the safe rescue of the missing persons from the recent Gwangju apartment collapse accident.

The campaign will continue until the 31st and participation can be made through ▲donations via KBS, MBC, and KBC broadcasters ▲donation delivery through Gwangju Metropolitan City Hall and five district offices’ social welfare departments ▲donation delivery through community service centers and local community security councils ▲membership in the Honor Society (high-value individual donor club) ▲joining Good Stores and Good Workplaces for regular donations by office workers ▲ARS phone donations ▲QR code and easy payment ▲designated donations and goods donations.

Also, sharing can be participated in through online fundraising on the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea website, and donation consultations can be made by contacting the Fundraising Business Team at the Gwangju Community Chest of Korea Secretariat.
