[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-sung] Suwon City held a delivery ceremony for the '10th Suwon Love Santa goods donation with KT Wiz' at Suwon City Hall on the 23rd, attended by Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young, KT Sports Representative Nam Sang-yong, and KT Gangnam-Seobu Division Executive Director Sung Won-je.
On this day, KT Wiz delivered donated goods valued at 30 million won, and the KT Gangnam-Seobu Division presented a donation certificate of 5 million won. In response, Mayor Yeom Tae-young expressed gratitude with plaques of appreciation.
The city plans to deliver the donations as Christmas gifts for vulnerable populations in the region.
For 100 vulnerable households, the city plans to distribute daily necessities worth 200,000 won per household, and to 10 social welfare organizations, rice and ramyeon and other food items.
Initially, Suwon City and KT Wiz had planned to hold a championship celebration event and conduct the Love Santa delivery ceremony together. However, due to the spread of COVID-19, the championship festival was canceled and replaced with the delivery ceremony.
'Suwon Love Santa with KT Wiz' has been conducted with support from KT Wiz since 2015.
Over the past seven years through this year, a total of 183 million won in donations has been provided, allowing 94 social welfare organizations and 400 vulnerable households to receive year-end gifts.
Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young said, "I am grateful that KT Wiz not only brought pride and joy to Suwon citizens, the team's home base, through their championship, but also continues to share with vulnerable populations. We will ensure that these gifts become useful presents for vulnerable populations who are facing even greater hardships due to the spread of COVID-19."
