CJ Group (Chairman Lee Jay-hyun) announced on the 14th that it will be donating 300 million won for earthquake relief in Turkey, where the recent disastrous earthquake caused a serious amount of damage.

The relief fund will be delivered via the Community Chest of Korea to be used for relief activities and damage recovery in Turkey.

According to a CJ official, “We hope that the funds can be of even a little help to the Turkish people who are going through tremendous amounts of pain due to this unexpected disaster. Our hearts are with them as we pray for a quick restoration.”
