The Korean Association for Children with Leukemia and Cancer (KACLC) has appointed Lee Jung-myung, chairman of golf course and resort operator Emerson Pacific Group, as its president.
“Our goal is to provide proper treatment not only to children but also to their families so that they can live a healthy life as members of our society,” Lee said Thursday.
Lee, 73, has been active in promoting teenagers’ safety and campaigning for juvenile crime prevention. He has served as chairman of a school foundation and as president of the Korea Juvenile Protection Association.
The KACLC was established in 1998 to support children diagnosed with leukemia and cancer and their parents. It has provided them with financial help for medical treatment and educational support such as scholarships.
