Daegu Hwaseong Valve CEO Jang Sung-pil Receives 'Social Contribution Award' from Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association

The Daegu·Gyeongbuk branch of the Korea Leukemia and Childhood Cancer Association awarded the ‘2023 Social Contribution Award’ to Jang Seongpil, CEO of Hwaseong Valve, on the 29th.

CEO Jang Seongpil has continued donation activities to support learning deficits caused by treatment in children with leukemia and childhood cancer and to provide psychological trauma therapy for their families.

Through the KNU Leaders Club (Kerry Club), CEO Jang has engaged in various social contribution activities for socially vulnerable groups in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. In addition to development funds for his alma mater, he has carried out various social contribution activities such as surprise sandwich events for juniors during exam periods and sponsorship activities for local public interest organizations.

Last September, he planned a charity concert to help children with cancer, where Kerry Club members and local residents united and donated about 13 million KRW through this meaningful event. He also made personal donations amounting to 8 million KRW, offering comfort and encouragement to children with leukemia and childhood cancer and their families living in difficult conditions.

CEO Jang Seongpil’s particular interest in children with cancer stems from a powerful memory of a close friend in his twenties who was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away during treatment. The memory of losing his precious friend who was breathing through a hose in a sterile room quietly led him to find and practice what he could do for patients and families struggling with illness. CEO Jang showed humility, saying that both receiving the social contribution award from the Korea Leukemia and Childhood Cancer Association Daegu·Gyeongbuk branch and expressing gratitude and taking photos seem to be regarded as more significant by others than the work he has done himself.

Receiving the social contribution award, CEO Jang Seongpil said, “There are many people doing meaningful work in the region, so I am grateful to receive such an undeserved award. I hope my small heart can be a comfort to children with leukemia and childhood cancer and their families and be seen as a small interest the local community has for them. I will continue to pay attention to those in need and contribute even a small amount of help.”
