The dreams and hopes of children are like lanterns that brightly illuminate the world. To ensure these precious lights shine brightly for years to come, the members of SK Innovation affiliates have united with one heart to inspire and encourage the children. For the first time in SK Group history, they\u2019ve teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation* to take part in the Wish Fulfillment Project for Children with Hard-to-Treat Diseases<\/strong><\/em>, such as leukemia and pediatric cancer, as well as other serious illnesses. This initiative, known as Wish Makers<\/strong><\/em>, reflects the company\u2019s heartfelt commitment not just to consistently support and invest in future generations, but to offer practical help that empowers and profoundly changes their lives for the better. <\/span>
\n*Make-A-Wish Foundation: A global non-profit organization dedicated to granting wishes for children with incurable diseases. After the Arizona Department of Public Safety fulfilled the wish of Chris Greicius, a young leukemia patient, to become a police officer in 1980, Chris’s mother, Linda, and an officer named Frank were inspired to start the foundation.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

On May 8, members of SK Innovation affiliates launched the first cohort of Wish Makers<\/strong><\/em>, initiating a meaningful journey. Throughout the year, a total of 19 teams of dedicated employees, known as Wish Angels<\/strong><\/em>, have been working tirelessly to fulfill the dreams of children by crafting their Wish Stories<\/strong><\/em>. August 30 marked a special day as one of the eight Wish Kids<\/strong><\/em> from the first cohort, a child battling a severe illness named Theo, had his dream realized.<\/span><\/p>\n
