The Air Force Chief of Staff Golf Tournament is one of the representative donation events hosted by the Air Force Academy and sponsored by the Republic of Korea Air Force.
Prior to the main game, the Air Force Academy donated two large TVs to Seongnam Physical Fitness Center to improve the operating conditions of the golf course. Through this, it was possible to monitor the operation status of the golf course more clearly and quickly, helping employees work in a more pleasant environment.
Major Air Force officials, reservists, and cooperative organizations attended the competition, and it became a meaningful venue for practicing the purpose of the competition to donate public interest. The Air Force Academy has returned donations collected through the competition every year to society and the military, and until the 15th, about 110 million won was delivered to the deceased pilot's children through the Air Force Sky Love Scholarship.

In addition, 40 million won was delivered to the Air Force, which was raised through the members' 10 million won movement (regular donation of 10,000 won per month). The donation will be used for the welfare of Air Force officer candidates and the development of an officer education battalion, contributing to the training process of beginner officers and the improvement of the educational environment.
Choi Byung-chae, president of the Air Force Academy of Korean Air Force Academy, said in his greeting, `The scholarship for children of Air Force martyrs, which we have donated through the Sky Love Scholarship Society, is not just a sponsorship, but we will protect the families of heroes who have protected the sky until the end' is a demonstration of the spirit of the Air Force by action, and the legacy created by the warm hearts of the members of the Air Force Academy of History.' He also said that 'Our donation is not 'beneficiary', but 'responsibility', and our service is not 'choice', but is 'pride that we contribute to society as airmen.
He stressed that the donation to the 'Non-Sung Scholarship Research Foundation' and the development of the Education Command will strengthen the power of the Air Force in the future and that every penny we make will build the beliefs of future officers and strengthen the foundation of the Air Force.
The donation of the Non-Sung Scholarship Research Foundation and the support of the Education Command will be the basis for the future Air Force's power, and more members should participate in the Million Movement, he said.
Secretary-General of the Air Force Academy (88th Bachelor of Science, CEO of Taesung Accounting Corporation Nam Sang-hwan), who was in charge of preparing and conducting this competition, said "We plan to hold the 17th competition in 2026 next year on a fine day in October and continue our activities for the practice of love for the Air Force."
