This gathering is not only a place for alumni to share affection but also a meaningful occasion where our small kindness becomes a great support for our juniors."

He added, "The Alumni Association will remain a reliable support so that students can begin their day without worrying about breakfast and pursue their dreams. We will continue to do our best with alumni to contribute to the development of our alma mater and the nurturing of future graduates."

President 양오봉 said, "I deeply thank Chairman 최병선 and the alumni for their unwavering interest and support for the university and its students.

Many companies, organizations, and alumni sponsored additional donations and various prizes, helping to ensure the tournament's success. Their active participation highlighted the event's significance as a forum for sharing in support of the alma mater and its students, beyond merely promoting alumni unity.
