Introduction to the purpose of the trailwalker donation campaign Is attached on the mirror at the gym.
"Give and Take with your trainer &" 
1 minute mitt punching for a 1000 won donation
1 round of mitt punching for a 3000 won donation
1 round of sparring lesson for donations of 5000 won or more

 

The trainer and the trainees are actively taking part in this donation funding campaign

 

"To train with the owner one on one is a very rare opportunity. It beats training alone. There’s nothing like getting in the ring to be personally trained. And if the trainer is Mr. Chung, that’s a whole new experience.Mr. Chung suggested donation via talent. Other than the basics, sparring will cost 3 thousand won per round. For him to actually be your sparring partner, that will mean 5 thousand won donations."

[Na-mi Sohn]
"Initially people start with the idea of making the most of what they donated. But they realized what a great learning experience it is, and so, they kept on coming back to make use of the opportunity. It’s a great way to give back to society while honing your boxing skills."  

"Some ask if they can use credit cards. Most of our members are happy they can get a one-on-one lesson while being a part of a wonderful donation funding activity."

Donation funding story 2. You get what you give!

[Sung-won Lee]
"4 of our members run their own business. So they set up their own Oxfam trailwalker donation box. I own a restaurant named Jindaegam. Another member owns a Japanese style Izakaya. We give miniature boxing gloves and desserts to donors.They’re all into boxing, so they love to own one. The mini gloves are so adorable."
 

Mini gloves are displayed to be sold at the gym along with the donation box. 
We came up with the idea for the gloves at our meeting. Kim Ha-young who leads the meetings created the donation box.

Gift funding activities are carried out in 4 private businesses run by members.
In just a month the 4 boxes were full.  

[Sun-ah Jung]

"Every time a customer foots the bill I tell them it’s for a good cause and explain how it works. They love the idea and show strong support. I offer them seaweed in return for their donations, but many choose to simply just give donation without taking the seaweed. Such small gestures really keep me going.   "

Donation funding story 3. start with taking small interests in the activities! 

 

A collection of bottles can be seen in one corner of the gym. Whenever members find empty bottles they are brought here.

[Sun-ah Jung]
"We have made a special bag to collect empty bottles to raise money for Oxfam Trailwalker. While the money that can be earned from an empty bottle is a very small amount, we think this is a meaningful opportunity to learn how these small contributions come together and turn into something big that can help someone."

[In-hwan Cho]
"Every time I meet my friends, I tell them about my trailwalker acitivities. It’s not just about walking or pushing yourself, it’s also about donation funding to help those in need. While talking about it we delve deeper into related issues. News spreads through word of mouth and the donation funding ideas and efforts continue to grow."

 

※ Touching stories  ※

“My friend’s mother had to go under the knife due to cancer. Even in this bleak situation, the friend decided to take part in donation activities when I talked about trailwalker. I was moved by how the friend would muster up the enthusiasm and take interest in helping others even while going through a challenging period in life. I was all the more motivated to continue donation funding efforts. ”
– Sung-won Lee -

“My two daughters have different spending habits. “The older one saves, while the younger one quickly spends her allowance. The younger one was eager to donate, while her sister was puzzled as to why we should help people we don’t even know.But after watching the joy in her sister’s face, she was convinced. They don’t have much to spare, but to me, as their mother, I’m touched and grateful for the chance for them to learn what it means to do something for others by sharing. I hope this Oxfam Trailwalker event provides a chance for children to look up to their moms to learn the meaning of taking on new challenges and the joy of giving.  "
