MELLOW’S GYURI HOST FUNDRAISER BANQUET FOR PAW&HAND
On June 5th, a banquet was held to raise money to go towards the future PAW&HAND projects. Idols such as Lucid’s Minny, USIK, BIGBANG’s Seungri, and more contributed in support of the cause.
Earlier in the year, the idol announced the launch of the new organization, PAW&HAND. From there, the organization took off. Successfully, PAW&HAND were able to find loving homes for 4,000 animals and counting. All over South Korea, letters are written and sent to PAW&HAND, thanking the organization for efforts to help animals of all species find homes. But as a new organization, PAW&HAND still has a long way to go. Action has been made to continue the success of the organization. PAW&HAND announced during the banquet that their new website will be launched soon, and future plans to better the foundation are being discussed.
It was reported that 40.5M (KRW) in total was donated during 5 days after the banquet was held. On behalf of Jeon Gyuri, PAW&HAND’s spokesperson stated: “We thank everyone for their donations. PAW&HAND’s future will shine brightly because of everyone’s help. And because of the positive response that was received, we will like to give back half of the donations to foster children of Korea. As said before, PAW&HAND is a home to everyone. Thank you.”
