The event raised about 224 million KRW, combining the full participation fees from 3,100 individual participants and corporate sponsorships. Sean donated this amount to Korea Habitat to support comfortable and safe homes for the descendants of independence activists. He said, "I am glad that the '3.1 Run,' which runs while reflecting on the meaning of the 3.1 Movement Day, is growing every year with more participants," and added, "It is meaningful to be able to contribute to helping the descendants of independence activists live in better environments."

Meanwhile, the '2025 3.1 Run' is a charity run to remember the sacrifices and dedication of independence activists and to support their descendants in living in comfortable housing environments. Since 2020, Sean has been conducting the '8.15 Run' and, since 2021, the '3.1 Run' campaigns to improve the housing conditions of independence activists' descendants on Liberation Day and 3.1 Movement Day, respectively. The funds raised so far have been used to build new homes for 17 families of independence activists' descendants, and the 18th and 19th houses are currently under construction. Sean's total cumulative donations to date are reported to exceed 6 billion KRW.
