Daejeon City and the Daejeon Community Chest of Korea held a launch ceremony and unveiling event for the "Hope 2025 Sharing Campaign" at the south gate plaza of Daejeon City Hall on the afternoon of the 2nd.

The campaign, under the slogan "Make Myself Valuable Through Giving, Make Daejeon Valuable Through Giving," will conduct fundraising until January 31 next year.

The "Love Thermometer," which visually represents love and sharing as temperature, rises by one degree each time 67.9 million KRW, equivalent to 1% of the campaign goal, is collected. When the target amount is reached, the thermometer hits 100 degrees. This year's fundraising goal is 6.79 billion KRW.

At the launch ceremony, Gyeryong Construction Industry and Hana Bank Chungcheong Business Group donated 200 million KRW, Geumseong Baekjo Housing donated 150 million KRW, Rosso Co. and Sung Sim Dang donated 100 million KRW, and Hanwha Aerospace Daejeon R&D Campus donated 70 million KRW.

Lee Jangwoo, Mayor of Daejeon, said, "Although everyone is going through difficult times due to the ongoing economic downturn, the heartfelt contributions from all walks of life become a great source of strength and hope for our neighbors in need. I kindly ask for the active interest and participation of Daejeon citizens so that the Love Thermometer can far exceed 100 degrees through the warmth of our community."
