Hana Financial Group said on Nov. 10 it delivered an 80 million won donation to promote welfare for vulnerable groups in the Chuncheon area of Gangwon province.

The donation was raised through the KPGA Tour Hana Bank Invitational held in Chuncheon in June.

Players donated 1 percent of the total prize money and Hana Financial matched the amount, raising 26 million won. Fundraising events during the tournament brought the total to 80 million won.

The donation will be passed through the Gangwon Social Welfare Community Chest and delivered to 6 welfare agencies in the Chuncheon area. It will be used to improve the environment at elderly welfare facilities and for care and education programmes for children and teenagers.

Lee Ho-seong (이호성), head of Hana Bank, said, "It is meaningful that the donation raised through the tournament can provide practical help to neighbours in need in the Chuncheon area." He added, "We will continue to practise sharing through sports and coexistence with local communities."
