Summer is a period when vacations and school breaks overlap, leading to a sharp decline in blood donations and making it one of the most vulnerable times for blood supply. Since blood cannot be stored for long periods, maintaining an adequate supply through ongoing donations is essential. Kolon has continued its annual summer blood donation campaign since 2013 to help mitigate these seasonal shortages.

This year, the campaign has been expanded to include the local community. Moving beyond activities focused solely on employees, it now enables citizens of Gwacheon to participate in a linked campaign.

Kolon has also expanded partnerships with resorts and hotels it operates, providing breakfast vouchers or hotel merchandise to donors who donate blood certificates through the end of peak vacation season on August 31.

This campaign began at Gwacheon Kolon Tower on July 22, and is being held sequentially at eight business locations nationwide, including Magok Kolon One&Only Tower, Gumi, Gimcheon, Daejeon, Gyeongsan, and Daesan. The campaign will run until August 31 and relies on the voluntary participation of employees and local residents.

Blood donation certificates collected during the campaign period will be delivered to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation and used to support the treatment and recovery of pediatric cancer patients. Since 2013, Kolon has donated over 6,800 blood certificates, continuing its steady community support activities.

Shin Eunju, Executive Director of Social Contribution Office at Kolon, said, "Blood donation is an activity through which anyone can participate in meaningful sharing," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibilities and spread a culture of warm giving through a variety of community-based initiatives."
