Wellinkers and the fitness platform Fibud have completed a social contribution initiative, donating exercise and health products to six welfare institutions. From January to June, the organizations provided goods worth approximately 6 million South Korean won to facilities serving children, the disabled, and the elderly. This effort fulfills a commitment made at the '2025 Wellinkers Donation Conference' to allocate all proceeds from the event to supporting underprivileged groups.
The donations included about 1 million won worth of items for each of the six institutions: Dongmyung Children's Welfare Center, Hasang Welfare Center for the Disabled, Seongdong Dream Start, Yeoksam Senior Welfare Center, Gangdong-gu Lifelong Education Center for the Elderly, and Chunghyun Welfare Center. The selection of products was tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of the users at each facility. For children's centers, items supporting physical activity were provided. For disabled individuals, products aimed at improving daily functions and ensuring safe movement were chosen. Senior centers received exercise equipment to help maintain muscle strength and promote health.
The trainers' passion has been concretely realized in supporting the vulnerable, which is deeply meaningful. We will continue to contribute to reducing health disparities in the community while fostering professional growth.
Wellinkers views this donation not merely as a charitable act but as a model for a self-sustaining cycle of community health improvement, facilitated by the knowledge sharing of fitness professionals like physical therapists and trainers. The voluntary participation of fitness leaders at the conference, which directly translated into support for welfare sites, added significant meaning to the initiative. Kim Hyung-gi, CEO of Wellinkers, expressed his gratitude, stating, "The trainers' passion has been concretely realized in supporting the vulnerable, which is deeply meaningful. We will continue to contribute to reducing health disparities in the community while fostering professional growth." Song Chae-gyeom, CEO of Fibud, added, "It was meaningful that trainers could participate in social contribution simply by attending a learning event. We will continue to spread the value of healthy movement through collaboration."
