Sarah Chea, Korea JoongAng Daily - James Kim, seventh from the left, chairman and CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM), takes a photo with CEOs and executives of corporations at AMCHAM's 17th CEO Servers’ Night at Conrad Seoul in Yeouido, western Seoul, on Tuesday. 
 
The fund-raising event, 35 executives and 430 guests attended this year, takes place annually to invite the most influential leaders in Korea’s global business community and raise scholarships for university students facing financial hardship. 

 

“It is truly inspiring to see so many influential leaders and partners come together to support students with financial challenges. Your dedication reflects the deep-rooted values of unity and corporate social responsibility that define our community,” AmCham Chairman and CEO James Kim said during the event.

 

He added, “The funds raised tonight will provide life-changing scholarships for students in need, helping them overcome financial hardships and pursue their dreams.”

 

According to AmCham, this year’s fundraiser set a new record. After deducting operational costs, around 120 million won ($85,000) was collected, up from 100 million won last year. All proceeds are to go toward scholarships for university students.

 

Since its establishment in 2000, the Partners for the Future Foundation has supported more than 4,500 students in achieving their academic and career goals.
