Ace Bed has donated 500 million KRW to support the recovery efforts for the massive wildfires that occurred in the Gyeongsang region.
The Ace Kyung-am Foundation, a social contribution foundation established by Ace Bed, announced on March 28th that it had donated 500 million KRW to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association to aid in the recovery from the recent wildfires and support affected residents.
Ahn Seong-ho, CEO of Ace Bed and Chairman of the foundation (pictured), stated, "We express our deepest gratitude to everyone dedicated to extinguishing the wildfires on the ground. We sincerely hope that this donation will provide even a small amount of help for overcoming the damage and for the residents of the affected areas to return to their daily lives as quickly as possible."
CEO Ahn added, "We will continue to fulfill our social responsibility and consistently strive to contribute to mutual growth with the local community."
The Ace Kyung-am Foundation was established by the late former Chairman Ahn Yu-su for social contribution projects. The late Chairman Ahn actively participated in supporting vulnerable groups and disaster relief efforts during his lifetime. In particular, he contributed to overcoming national disasters by donating 1.5 billion KRW to firefighters who dedicate themselves to national safety, as well as 600 million KRW for the recovery efforts of the Goseong wildfire in Gangwon Province in 2019 and the East Coast wildfires in 2022.
Following his father's wishes, CEO Ahn has also been engaged in various social contribution activities, including donating funds for two consecutive years for the establishment of Korea's first Lou Gehrig's disease care hospital, the 'Seungil Hope Hospital.'
