This donation will be used to provide agricultural product packages worth a total of 55 million KRW to 1,100 vulnerable children in the Gyeongbuk region, and to carry out a study room decoration project worth 55 million KRW for 110 vulnerable adolescent households nationwide.

Earlier, last month, the corporation conducted the "7.7 Billion Steps (77 Eokbo) Walking Challenge" to support vulnerable children and promote public health. If more than 7.7 billion steps were achieved, agricultural product packages would be provided to vulnerable children in the region. Over 80,000 people participated, achieving a total of 19.3 billion steps.

In addition, the corporation is engaged in various donation activities, such as delivering 38 million KRW in medical expenses to 14 children with rare and incurable diseases in the Gimcheon area through the "ex-Love Fund," which is linked to the performance of the "Gimcheon Hi-Pass Volleyball Team."

A corporation official said, "We hope that through this donation, vulnerable adolescents and children will not feel isolated and can enjoy a warm Family Month. We will continue to expand donation activities that provide practical help to neighbors in need."
