The delivery ceremony was held at 2 p.m. that day at the Dementia Safety Center. The herbal pain relief patches will be distributed to those registered with the center. Kumho Tire stated that it will continue to support the local community in the future.

Kim Okhyun, Director of the Gwangsan-gu Dementia Safety Center, said, "The interest and warm sharing from the local community is a great comfort and support for dementia patients and their families," adding, "I hope this donation becomes a symbol of the warm solidarity within our community."

A Kumho Tire representative stated, "We organized this event to express our gratitude and respect to the generation of our parents on Parents' Day," and added, "We will continue to deliver ritual items during holidays and steadily move forward together with the local community in the future."
