Byungjin Lee, Vice President of Toyota Motor Korea, Hangwang Yang, Director of the National Cancer Center, and other key officials attended the donation ceremony held on the 23rd. After the event, they visited the ward where pediatric and adolescent cancer patients stay and delivered messages of encouragement to the patients.


This donation will be used to operate programs that help the psychological and emotional recovery of pediatric and adolescent cancer patients, as well as to cover the medical expenses of patients facing financial difficulties. The support will include hospital school vacation programs, appearance care programs, the Hope Drive program, and caregiver healing programs, all designed to help stabilize the mental well-being of the patients and their families.


By providing financial support for the treatment costs of pediatric and adolescent cancer patients from vulnerable backgrounds, the company aims to reduce the medical expenses incurred during treatment and help ensure the patients can continue their care without interruption.


Byungjin Lee, Vice President of Toyota Motor Korea, stated, "We continue our support with the hope of bringing some strength to pediatric and adolescent cancer patients and their families who are experiencing difficulties during treatment," adding, "We will maintain our ongoing interest and support so that the children do not lose hope and can return to healthy daily lives."



Meanwhile, since 2001, Toyota Motor Korea has been working with the National Cancer Center to continuously support the educational environment and medical expenses for pediatric cancer patients. As of this year, the cumulative amount of donations has reached approximately 1.04 billion won.
