Despite the prolonged situation of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the temperature tower of love in Incheon has boiled.
The city of Incheon announced on the 1st that through the’Hope 2021 Sharing Campaign’ held for two months from December 1st last year to 31st last month, a total of 10.215 billion won was collected and the temperature of the temperature tower of love reached 152 degrees. This is the highest temperature ever, far exceeding the previous record in 2017, 130.2 degrees Celsius in 2017. This is the first time that the amount raised has exceeded 10 billion won.
The temperature of the temperature tower of love rises by 1 degree each time the fundraising goal is filled by 1%. Having recorded 152 degrees means that it has achieved 152% of the target. The temperature tower of love climbed to 109 degrees on the 8th, the 39th day of the campaign, and set a record for breaking the target amount in the shortest period ever.
13,492 individual donors and 2,684 corporations participated in this campaign. Individual donors, who account for 83% of the total donation, collected pocket money and scholarships to share, and the’faceless angels’ who did not disclose their identity continued to share.
Public institutions have also raised mercury shares. Incheon International Airport Corporation donated 2.2 billion won, and Incheon City Council, Incheon Environment Corporation, and Facility Management Corporation also contributed. All Incheon city officials participated in the donation through the’Salary Salary Salary Fundraising’, which collects less than 1,000 won in salary. Incheon City’s Innovation Division also offered a prize of 15 million won, which was selected as the best institute for innovation evaluation organized by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and the city of Incheon delivered a total of 64 million won.
The donations collected will be provided to low-income families and local social welfare institutions in various forms such as medical expenses, living expenses, and scholarships.
Mayor Park Nam-chun said, “I deeply appreciate the warm hearts of citizens who are trying to help neighbors who are more difficult than me.”
