RIIZE, the popular K-pop group, has started the new year by making a heartwarming contribution to society. On January 21, the social welfare foundation Walking Together announced that RIIZE donated 100 million KRW (approximately $80,000) under their fan club Breeze’s name. The funds will support the All Kidzstra program, which provides cultural and arts education for children and adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds.
This philanthropic gesture was initiated by the members themselves, reflecting their commitment to offering encouragement and hope to vulnerable youth as they step into 2025. RIIZE has consistently demonstrated a dedication to giving back to society. Last month, the group donated proceeds from their Breeze-designed LimeTicon sales, commemorating the release of their debut mini-album RIIZING. These efforts have brought their total contributions to 120 million KRW to date.
All Kidzstra, managed by Walking Together, is a cultural arts program designed to foster emotional and personal growth through music education. It aims to provide children and adolescents from low-income families with opportunities to learn and express themselves through music. The program’s flagship ensemble, the All Kidzstra Wind Orchestra, has gained recognition for its outstanding performances and regular concerts, inspiring young musicians to pursue their artistic potential.
RIIZE’s recent donation will be used to support various aspects of the program, including rehearsal space rentals, lessons, ensemble practice, and concert hosting for the All Kidzstra Wind Orchestra. These initiatives ensure that participating youth can continue to access quality arts education and experiences.
Hyun Joo Kim, Director of Walking Together, expressed gratitude for RIIZE’s ongoing support, saying, “Thanks to RIIZE’s generous contribution, children and adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds can learn music in a stable environment. Their efforts bring hope and opportunity to the next generation.”
RIIZE’s consistent efforts to support cultural arts education underscore their commitment to making a meaningful impact on society. As the group continues to grow in popularity, their dedication to philanthropy serves as a shining example for fans and fellow artists alike, highlighting the power of music and community in creating positive change.
