This year's event will take place nationwide from the 13th to the 31st. When customers order a Starbucks Strawberry Latte or Santa Bearista Cake, 1,000 KRW per item will be automatically added to the fund.

Starbucks plans to donate the raised funds to 28 organizations, including the Resource Circulation Social Solidarity, Jeju Olle, Beautiful Store, and Hanmaeum Blood Center. The funds will be used for eco-friendly activities, support for pediatric cancer surgery costs, and employment activation projects for vulnerable groups.
