iM Securities donates to welfare facilities ahead of Chuseok

iM Securities announced Friday that it has carried out a series of corporate social responsibility activities to support vulnerable groups ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

The company donated 5 million won ($3,620) to the Seoul Metropolitan Southern Disability Welfare Center on Thursday. The ceremony was attended by iM Securities President Park Tae-dong and center Director Lee Su-jeong, among others.

The funds will go toward Chuseok events at the center, including a yutnori tournament and hands-on activity booths where facility users can celebrate the holiday alongside local residents. Gifts and food will also be delivered to households of people with disabilities who have difficulty going out.

iM Securities also donated 5 million won to Zion Children's Home, a child-care facility in Iksan, North Jeolla Province. Those funds are earmarked for repairing aging equipment and purchasing new items at the facility.

"We wanted our small gestures of support to reach many different corners of society this Chuseok," a company official said. "We will continue to pursue a wide range of social contribution activities and extend a warm hand to local communities."

iM Securities is also hosting a mock investment competition for university students in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province as part of iM Financial Group's youth support project, giving participants hands-on investment experience. President Park earlier joined a campaign to prevent illegal gambling among teenagers.
