It's a dream for many companies to see their logos on the uniform of globally acclaimed football clubs. Aon Corp. made the dream come true with Manchester United this season, and it kicked off a meaningful charity initiative to celebrate the sponsorship with the Premier League giant.

Aon Korea, a Korean unit of the global risk advisor and human capital consultant, Thursday visited the Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center for the blind in Chung-ju, North Chungcheong Province, as part of the global charity program by its parent firm to commemorate the sponsorship.

Last month, Aon signed the four-year deal with Manchester United, which allows the company to feature on a new uniform of the football club.

Headed by CEO Cho Soo-kang, executives and employees of the company spent a full day playing various sports with the students and teachers of the school for the disabled youth in celebration of "Aon United Day." They also enjoyed lunch together, and helped clean up the facilities.

Aon Korea also voluntarily collected 1 percent of its workers' salary to raise a fund to donate to the school through Planting Love, a charity organization that supports educational and job-training programs for its students to help them stand on their feet after graduation.

Including Korea, Aon's global network in over 120 countries will participate in the fundraising and volunteer activities in partnership with charity bodies, the company said in a press release.



맨유 새 유니폼 도입

세계적으로 유명한 축구팀의 유니폼에 로고가 새겨진다는 것은 회사로서는 꿈만 같은 일일 것이다. 세계적 보험중개사인 에이온(Aon) 은 이번 시즌 맨체스터유나이티드와 함께 그 꿈을 이루었고 또한 팀과의 계약을 축하하기 위해서 의미 있는 자선 활동을 시작했다.

에이온코리아는 맨유와의 계약을 기념하기 위한 자선활동의 일환으로 충청북도 청주성모병원재활센터에서 치료 중인 시각장애인들을 방문했다.

조수강 사장을 필두로 회사간부 및 직원들은 “에이온 유나이티드 데이”를 축하하기 위해 하루 종일 장애우 및 지도교사들과 여러 가지 운동을 하며 시간을 보냈다. 점심도 같이 먹고 청소도 도왔다.

직원들은 또한 자발적으로 봉급의 1퍼센트를 교육 및 취업을 돕는 자선 단체 사랑심기(Planting Love)를 통해 학교에 기부했다. 한국을 포함 120개국이 모금 및 자원봉사 활동에 참여한다고 회사는 기자회견을 통해 말했다.
