Professional Basketball Team Sono and Captain Jeong Hee-jae Sponsor Scholarships for Goyang Youth

Professional basketball team Goyang Sono announced that it has donated 11.27 million won in "Winners Youth Scholarships" to the Goyang Council on Social Welfare in commemoration of Social Welfare Day (September 7).

The Sono club raised the scholarship funds by fulfilling a promise made after the 2025-2026 season to donate ticket sales from the "Thanks, Winners Day" event, which was held to thank fans for their passionate support (with "Winners" being the fans' affectionate nickname).

In addition, upon hearing about the club's donation, team captain Jeong Hee-jae personally contributed 5 million won for youth scholarships to support the nurturing of local talent in the region.

Attending the donation ceremony held yesterday (September 11) at the Byeolmorae Theater in Goyang Oulim Nuri, Jeong Hee-jae said, "When I heard the club was making a meaningful donation in the name of the Winners, I decided to join without hesitation. I hope this serves as a small source of strength for young people so they do not lose their dreams and hopes as they march toward their futures."
