Our global major partner, AIA, together with the Club, organized a fan art exhibition for young people living with cancer in Korea.
The exhibition was organized by the Korean Association for Children with Leukemia and Cancer, a charity that offers pediatric care and scholarships so that young people can continue their studies while undergoing cancer treatment. AIA Korea has worked on this agreement for 21 years.
In Korean culture, the concept of fan art is considered a healthy form of expression of intellectual well-being. The exhibition served as a safe space for young people undergoing cancer treatment to express themselves and appreciate the art on display.
Around a hundred young people and families from the team visited the exhibition, which was also attended by several first-team players, including James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Oliver Skipp. The children and families talked with the players about the topic of intellectual well-being.
Oliver Skipp said: “It was an event. We got to see all the art from the professionals and young people, and some of the art done by children under the age of 10 was just amazing to see. It was great to see too. For young people who are going through a difficult time, it was fantastic to help them smile back.
“It’s vital that we help out at those events, especially in Korea where Sonny is an icon and we as players feel the love we get in Korea. So it’s great to be able to give back a little bit as a club to help and make the young people smile. ” “.
This was the first time AIA organized a fan art exhibition, with the initiative being part of AIA Korea’s Rethink Healthy campaign, which encourages other people to intellectual and emotional well-being as well. than physical health.
Ji-Ye Hwang, Chief Marketing Officer of AIA Korea, said, “Fan Art is distinct from Korean pop culture and is our way of expressing our admiration and joy to those we support. We hope that Spurs players have enjoyed the unique Korean culture. Enjoy doing your part to encourage children to continue their adventure toward healthier, longer, and better lives.
Supporting local charitable causes is a key component of what the Club and our travel components do. As part of our activity in Korea, the club also hosted thirteen young people from the Make-A-Wish Korea Foundation for a global consultation on the progress of football and met with members of our first team.
