Jul 22, 2024

○…The Korea Sports Association for the Disabled and GS Retail will establish the 'GS25 Always Spring Start-up Support System' to support the start-up of athletes with disabilities and recruit participants. 'All Spring Start-up Support System' is a system that exempts disabled athletes and retired athletes who wish to start a GS25 convenience store from membership fees (about 7.7 million won) and provides the initial grace period for the headquarters deposit. Through these benefits, it aims to lower barriers to start businesses for disabled athletes and help them start anew. Anyone who has registered as a player with the Korea Sports Council for the Disabled can receive the same benefits at least once, along with the currently registered players. Athletes with disabilities who wish to start a business through the spring start-up support system can contact the Sports and Sports Ministry of the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled.

○…The Korean Sports Association for the Disabled will hold a 'Hana Financial Group Paris Paralympic Games sponsorship delivery ceremony' at Icheon Training Center on the 23rd. The event will be attended by Chung Jin-wan, chairman of the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled, Ham Young-joo, chairman of Hana Bank, and about 30 officials from both organizations, and after the event, it plans to encourage athletes training to visit the general sports center. Since 2018, Hana Financial Group has sponsored more than 3 billion won for the development of sports for the disabled, including sports for the disabled, encouraging athletes and scholarships for students with disabilities.
