[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 21st that it held the ‘Christmas Santa Has Come’ event together with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Gwangju Regional Headquarters on the 20th.

The ‘Christmas Santa Has Come’ event, held annually by Gwangju Bank ahead of Christmas, is a meaningful event that delivers Christmas presents to local children from underprivileged family backgrounds.

Gwangju Bank invited five representative children selected from local children through the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to the first floor ‘KJBEARS ZONE’ of the Gwangju Bank headquarters.

‘KJBEARS ZONE’ is a cultural space decorated with the story of Christmas featuring Gwangju Bank’s characters ‘KJBEARS’ (Woong-i, Dal-i, Danji).

Here, President Song Jong-wook and employees of the Gwangju Bank Regional Love Volunteer Group dressed up as Santa Claus and delivered gifts such as clothing and school bags prepared based on the children’s wish lists, as well as cakes. After the gift-giving ceremony, they shared the joy of Christmas by taking instant photos with Santa in front of the Christmas tree.

In addition, a sponsorship fund of 6 million won was delivered for about 20 children selected for this event through the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation Gwangju Regional Headquarters.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “We planned this event to share the happiness of Christmas with children,” and added, “We will continue to fulfill our responsibility as the representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam by realizing the values of ‘coexistence with the region and companionship with local residents’ through various financial support and social contribution activities.”

Meanwhile, to embrace marginalized local residents and practice love for the community at the end of the year, Gwangju Bank is taking the lead in sharing warm affection in the local community by conducting volunteer activities such as kimchi-making sharing and briquette delivery with President Song Jong-wook and new employees.
