Doosan Construction Donates All Proceeds from 'We’ve Championship' Gallery Tickets
Doosan Construction announced on the 10th that it donated the entire 16.82 million KRW proceeds from gallery ticket sales at the 'Doosan Construction We’ve Championship' held last month to the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Disabled Sports Association.
The donation ceremony held the day before was attended by Se-uk Oh, Executive Director of Doosan Construction; Jae-hoon Jeong, Standing Vice Chairman of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Disabled Sports Association; Kwang-yeop Go, coach of the Jeju Samdasoo Wheelchair Basketball Team; and the team players.
Doosan Construction also donated all proceeds from gallery ticket sales to this organization last year. This year, as the event was held as the domestic opening round of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA), many fans gathered, resulting in a 53% increase in donations compared to the previous year.
Jae-hoon Jeong, Standing Vice Chairman of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Disabled Sports Association, said, "We express our gratitude to Lee Jung-hwan, CEO of Doosan Construction, for leading the development of disabled sports in Jeju. We will continue to advance so that club members and athletes can engage in sports activities in better environments and to revitalize disabled sports."
Doosan Construction operates its golf team in connection with social contribution activities. The total donation of 58.68 million KRW raised through various programs in its inaugural year last year was used for flood damage recovery support, development of disabled sports, and youth golf development. This year, the proceeds from the auction of cherished items owned by the team players were donated to protect abandoned companion animals.
