The Korean Red Cross (President Chulsoo Kim) announced on May 12 that the Korea Park Golf Association (President Seokju Hong) donated approximately 310 million won on May 8 to support the recovery of areas affected by wildfires and to assist disaster victims.

This donation was raised through the voluntary participation of park golf enthusiasts from cities and provinces across the country. The purpose of the donation is to help those who have lost their homes and are suffering due to the sudden wildfires recover their lives.

Seokju Hong, President of the Korea Park Golf Association, said, "Given that park golf is a sport with a high proportion of senior participants, this donation is closely aligned with the community spirit of helping one another, which is a core part of park golf culture. I sincerely hope that this contribution will provide at least some support for the recovery of wildfire-affected areas and for the stabilization of the lives of disaster victims."

Chulsoo Kim, President of the Korean Red Cross, responded, "I am grateful for the warm-heartedness of park golf enthusiasts toward building a society where we live together. The Red Cross will do its utmost to ensure that this precious goodwill is fully delivered to those affected by the disaster."

Founded in 2008, the association has been working to expand the base of park golf and promote public health by organizing various tournaments and training leaders, thereby establishing a systematic foundation. It is also actively engaged in activities in cooperation with local communities.
