AMCHAM Service Day

Dear AMCHAM members,


We hope you are enjoying the crisp fall weather.

AMCHAM Korea is pleased to invite member companies to join the 3rd AMCHAM Service Day on Sunday, which will be held on October 11, 2015. In additional to working on a large variety of CSR events alone or with members via AMCHAM’s charitable arm, the Partners for the Future Foundation, AMCHAM has organized annual “Service Day” events every year since 2013. During the last two events, we participated in meaningful activities, such as creating an AMCHAM Forest at Noeul Park and cleaning the Yangjae Stream. 

This year, we are planning to support and participate in Jamsugyo ECO Bridge Festival hosted by Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seocho District Office, and the Korea Green Foundation. The purpose of this festival is to develop a more Eco-friendly society and encourage recycling and spread this culture among citizens through creative recycling of unused objects. AMCHAM members can join this rewarding event by selling company products or unused personal items at their own company booth. Monetary donations are also welcomed. The profits generated during the festival will be donated to the AMCHAM Partners for the Future scholarship fund for underprivileged students and for purchase of solar lanterns to be donated to help light up non-electrified villages in Asia. 

We welcome active participation from our AMCHAM members and their families for participation in this fun and meaningful eco-friendly festival.
