The 'Grandpa Chefs' team designated 3 million won of the proceeds earned from the 'Village Sarangchae Grandpa's Table' event, where they personally prepared and sold lunchboxes during the Chungjang Festival, to the nation's first baseball team for adolescents with developmental disabilities, the 'E.T Baseball Team,' and 2 million won to the Dong-gu Talent Development Scholarship Foundation.
