Pfizer Korea hosted a recreational event for children raised by their grandparents.

Fifty children were invited to the 7th Pfizer Dream Camp in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, Sunday. The Korean unit of the American drug giant has hosted the event since 2010 in collaboration with the Korean Medical Women’s Association and Child Fund Korea.

The children enjoyed a variety of events prepared under the theme “Dream House” with volunteers from the hosting organizations.

“We hope the event gives the children the courage to have a dream and realize it against all odds,” said Pfizer Korea country manager Oh Dong-wook. “Pfizer will continue its support to them to make their lives full of happiness.”

Pfizer Korea has hosted various health-related campaigns.

Its “Healthy Aging” campaign promotes ways to stay in good health as we age. The company has offered scholarship to students in financial trouble. It has also offered financial support to doctors and medical experts.
