CJ Donors Camp Hosts Sports Day for 2,500 Children from Local Centers

Employees from CJ Group teamed up with children from local centers for team sports. Over 2,500 children from 120 local centers participated in both preliminary and final rounds. Dancers Aiki and Hyojin Choi also joined as "cultural dream guides" to cheer on the children.
 
CJ Donors Camp announced on June 22 that it hosted the '2026 CJ Donors Camp Sports Day' at Myongji University Gymnasium in Seoul on June 20. The event was divided into an online preliminary round, called the 'Challenge League,' and an offline final round, known as the 'Champion League.'
 
Approximately 210 employees from CJ Group and over 2,500 children from 120 local centers participated in both rounds. The online preliminaries took place over six sessions in May, with eight local centers advancing to the finals.
 
In the finals, teams comprised of children and supervising teachers from eight local centers, along with about 110 employees from eight CJ affiliates, competed together.
 
Employees from CJ CheilJedang, CJ Foodville, CJ Freshway, CJ Logistics, CJ Olive Young, CJ Olive Networks, CJ ENM (CJ OnStyle), and CJ 4DPLEX participated in the games alongside the children.
 
The events included team sports that required cooperation between children and adults, such as tower building, balloon relay, and sky-high shooting. Children from the Haebaragi Local Children's Center performed a cheerleading routine.
 
Aiki and Hyojin Choi participated as cultural dream guides. After a celebratory performance, they engaged in a random play dance with the children and took commemorative photos.
 
CJ Donors Camp is the main brand of the CJ Nanum Foundation, which serves as a sharing platform. Founded in 2005 based on Chairman Lee Jae-hyun's philosophy that "companies should be dream guides for the youth," it aims to support children's healthy physical development and foster teamwork through annual sports events. CJ Group employees volunteer to participate, embodying the company's philosophy of sharing.
 
Since its inception in 2005, the CJ Nanum Foundation has supported approximately 2.2 million children and youth through the CJ Donors Camp, with total donations exceeding 210 billion won. Over 4,000 local children's centers and welfare facilities across the country are member institutions.
 
A representative from CJ Donors Camp stated, "As opportunities for children to engage in group physical activities like school sports days decrease, we will continue to support activities that allow children from local centers to run, cooperate, and grow healthily together."
