Kolon Group has taken on the role of 'New Year Santa' for children from low-income families. The group's unique social contribution activity, in which employees voluntarily participate to raise funds, produce, and deliver donated items, has been ongoing for 14 years.

Kolon Group announced on the 20th that it conducted the 'Dream Pack Donation Angel Campaign,' which gifts school supplies and other items to local children's centers. The Kolon Volunteer Corps carried out a volunteer activity to create Dream Packs at the Kolon Spaceworks building located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the same day.

About 40 employees, including Ahn Sang-hyun, CEO of Kolon Spaceworks, participated in the volunteer activity. The participants packed 870 Dream Packs consisting of school supplies, play items, and snacks, and delivered them to 30 local children's centers near the workplace in partnership with the NGO 'World Vision.'

This year's Dream Packs included space-themed board games and 3D cubes. The participation of employees from Kolon Spaceworks, a specialized advanced composite materials company within the group, reflected the characteristics of the participating company's industry. Kolon Spaceworks was launched in July last year and operates in fields such as aerospace, defense, and mobility.

The Dream Pack Donation Angel Campaign is a differentiated social contribution activity unique to Kolon Group, which started in 2012. Kolon Group stated that the entire process, from raising funds to producing and delivering the Dream Packs, is carried out through the voluntary participation of employees. Additionally, Kolon Group delivers separate donations collected through an in-house donation system called the 'Donation Angel Gate' on each payday, combining employee contributions with company support funds.

Seo Chang-hee, head of the Kolon Volunteer Corps, said, "We hope that the small sincerity contained in the Dream Packs will help children in their new school term," adding, "Kolon Group will continue to strive to be a company that supports the places in society where help is most needed."

Meanwhile, Kolon Group has been carrying out various social contribution activities since establishing the 'Kolon Volunteer Corps' in 2012 under the slogan 'Stepping Stone Toward Dreams, Dream Partners.' Since its founding, it has been conducting the Dream Pack Donation Angel Campaign annually in partnership with World Vision.
