Chong Kun Dang Conducts 'Love Sharing Blood Donation Campaign' to Overcome Blood Supply Shortage

Donation of Blood Donation Certificates and Supplies for Pediatric Cancer Patients

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Chong Kun Dang Holdings announced on the 1st that it conducted the '2022 Love Sharing Blood Donation Campaign' from the 25th to the 28th of last month together with Chong Kun Dang and its affiliates to help overcome the blood supply shortage caused by the summer decrease in blood donations and the resurgence of COVID-19.

The campaign was held sequentially at six nationwide business sites, starting with the Chong Kun Dang Hyojong Research Institute, followed by Chong Kun Dang headquarters and Cheonan factory, Chong Kun Dang Bio Ansan factory, Kyungbo Pharmaceutical Asan factory, and Chong Kun Dang Health Dangjin factory.

A total of 137 employees participated in the campaign, donating 118 blood donation certificates. The company will deliver the donated blood donation certificates to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation to support children suffering from pediatric cancer. Additionally, a donation of 10,000 KRW per participating employee will be raised to support the replacement of old items at the pediatric cancer shelter of the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation.

Since 2010, Chong Kun Dang Holdings has conducted relay blood donation campaigns every summer, when blood supply is unstable, at major business sites nationwide. This year, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic causing a sharp decline in blood reserves, blood donation campaigns will be held twice, in summer and winter.

A representative of Chong Kun Dang Holdings said, "We conduct blood donation campaigns every year to ensure stable blood supply and to promote the culture of blood donation, encouraging employee participation," and added, "We hope that the small acts of life-sharing by our employees will be valuable to patients in need of blood supply."

In addition to the blood donation campaign, Chong Kun Dang Holdings carries out various volunteer activities for coexistence with local communities, such as the traveling 'Opera Hope Story' performance for patients, families, and medical staff, 'Classroom Forest Creation' for eco-friendly practices, cemetery cleaning activities at the National Cemetery, and clothing donation.
