Daegu SL Seobong Foundation Donates 1 Billion Won to Help Neighbors Again This Year Following Last Year
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] The Daegu Community Chest of Korea announced on the 23rd that the SL Seobong Foundation has donated 1 billion won in love-sharing funds.
The SL Seobong Foundation was established in 2006 by Lee Chung-gon, chairman of SL, who contributed 10 billion won of his personal fortune.
On January 2, 2013, Chairman Lee Chung-gon joined the Honor Society as its 9th member, a club for individual high donors contributing over 100 million won to the Daegu Community Chest of Korea, practicing noblesse oblige.
Chairman Lee has continuously donated personal funds to the SL Seobong Foundation, which currently supports local talents and excellent research organizations with a donation fund of 30 billion won, and continues sharing for young talents realizing their dreams in difficult environments and for marginalized neighbors.
SL, a leading automobile parts manufacturing company in the Daegu region, plans to fulfill its social responsibility as a representative local company by donating another large-scale fund of 1 billion won this year, following last year's donation of 1 billion won.
