Seo-gu has used the Oh-itgil sponsorship funds to support university tuition and academy fees for young family caregivers, as well as hospital expenses for sick family members. The sponsorship funds from this walking contest will also be used to support the self-realization, career, and life dreams of young family caregivers.
