To date, more than 40 children of organ donors have received scholarships supported by HK Innoen through the step donation activities.

On the 13th, HK Innoen held a scholarship award ceremony at the Community Chest of Korea (Sarangui Yeolmae) building located in Jung-gu, Seoul, and donated 50 million KRW in scholarships to the Community Chest of Korea. The donated scholarships will be used to support the education of children of organ donors.

From the 1st of last month for one month, HK Innoen conducted the step donation campaign "Georeumen Innoen Season 5" in collaboration with the Korea Organ and Tissue Donation Agency and the Community Chest of Korea. This campaign was planned to raise social awareness about organ donation.

A total of approximately 21,000 participants, including HK Innoen employees and the general public, took part in Georeumen Innoen Season 5, achieving 1.66 billion steps, which is 332% of the target goal of 500 million steps. This amount of steps corresponds to a carbon reduction effect equivalent to planting up to 36,000 pine trees.

Kwack Dal-won, CEO of HK Innoen, said, "Through five campaigns of Georeumen Innoen, we have gained empathy not only from our employees but also from citizens in the local community, raising social interest in diseases and patients. We will continue to steadily carry out the step donation campaign and strive to exert a positive social influence."

Meanwhile, HK Innoen was recently selected as a newly recognized institution under the "2023 Community Contribution Recognition System," organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare. It also received a commendation from the President of the Korean Red Cross for its contributions to donation activities and support for vulnerable groups through the "Hope Windmill Emergency Support" working committee of the Korean Red Cross.
