Nongshim will continue to support children with leukemia and pediatric cancer this year as well. On the 5th, Nongshim held a donation ceremony with the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association and decided to provide a total of 200 million KRW in cash and Baeksansu water annually.

On the 5th, a sponsorship fund transfer ceremony between Nongshim and the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association was held at the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association office located in Yeonnam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

At the donation ceremony, Nongshim first donated 100 million KRW in cash. This donation will be used for various support projects such as a drawing contest filled with the dreams and hopes of the children in honor of World Pediatric Cancer Day (February 15), Simsim kits that deliver gifts on the children’s birthdays and bone marrow transplant anniversaries, and Simsim trekking, a walking event to cheer for the children’s recovery.

In addition to the 100 million KRW donated on this day, Nongshim plans to donate Baeksansu water worth 100 million KRW to the Korea Leukemia Pediatric Cancer Association. Baeksansu water will be regularly delivered every month to the homes of about 340 pediatric cancer patients.

Nongshim has been helping children with leukemia and pediatric cancer since 2018. Through regular group blood donations by employees, they donate blood certificates and provide Baeksansu water monthly so that children with weakened immune systems can safely drink water. The total cumulative donation has reached about 1.24 million bottles. Since 2022, Nongshim has expanded its sponsorship scale to also carry out pediatric cancer awareness improvement projects.

A Nongshim official said, “We will continue to actively work to directly support children with leukemia and pediatric cancer and to raise social interest by informing that the cure rate is high if proper treatment is received.”
