This donation was made by collecting the remaining balance from the golf course voucher project, which has been jointly promoted by Yeoju City and local golf courses since August last year. A total of approximately 23 million won was donated to the Community Chest of Korea. Out of the 2.55 billion won in vouchers raised by 20 golf courses last year, about 91%, or 2.32 billion won, was used throughout the city, and the remaining balance was donated to the Community Chest of Korea.

Kwon Osam, CEO of Blue Heron Golf Club and head of the Yeoju Area Golf Course Representatives Association, said, "It was already meaningful to be able to work together with Yeoju citizens through the voucher project, and I am pleased that the remaining funds will be used to help neighbors in need. We will continue to engage in social contribution activities that benefit the local community."

A city official stated, "Despite the recent challenging business environment, we are grateful that golf courses have practiced warm sharing with the local community. We hope that the second Yeoju City-Golf Course Voucher project will also help revitalize the local economy, and we will ensure that the donated funds are delivered transparently to those in need, leading to welfare that all citizens can truly feel."

Meanwhile, this year, Yeoju City has also raised a total of 245 million won from 19 local golf courses and has been implementing the second Yeoju City-Golf Course Mutual Growth Voucher since August 1, receiving a positive response from small business owners.
