Busan City will hold the '2025 Red Cross Membership Hope Sharing Fundraising Declaration Ceremony' at 4:30 PM on the 3rd in the protocol room of City Hall.

The declaration ceremony is hosted by the Busan Branch of the Korean Red Cross (Chairman Seo Jeong-ui).

On this day, the declaration ceremony will mark the start of the 2025 Red Cross membership 'Hope Sharing Fundraising' campaign, and at the same time, a donation ceremony by representative donors will be held to promote the value of the Red Cross's humanitarian activities and encourage participation.

The representative donors include Kwon Jung-cheon, Chairman of Heechang Mulsan; Jeong Seong-woo, CEO of G-MAX; Kim Mu-im, Chairman of Yongseong; Jang Min-cheol, CEO of Diplomat; Hong Seong-bak, President of Bugok Stainless; Oh Jong-su, CEO of Hanil Refrigeration; Heo Seong-ryeol, CEO of Seongyeong Housing; Lee Sang-chan, Director of Busan Country Club; Choi Kyung-ran, Chairwoman of the Busan Branch Women's Volunteer Special Advisory Committee; and Ahn Jeong-ae, President of the Red Cross Volunteer Association.

The 2025 Red Cross membership fees will be intensively collected until January 31, 2025, and thereafter operated through a continuous fundraising method until the end of November.

The collected Red Cross membership fees will be used for various humanitarian activities such as disaster relief and prevention activities, discovering and providing medical support to vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots, health and safety education, and social service.

Since 2000, the city has participated in the membership fee fundraising campaign every year by delivering special Red Cross membership fees to support the Red Cross's projects, including spreading a culture of donation and emergency relief for vulnerable groups.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “I thank the donors who actively participate in donation activities to practice love for neighbors and the Korean Red Cross for their dedicated support of disaster-vulnerable groups.” He added, “The Red Cross activities based on humanitarianism play an important role in making Busan a happy city for its citizens. I hope today's fundraising declaration ceremony will serve as a good example to spread a culture of sharing in Busan and further activate the humanitarian activities of the Red Cross.”
