Hope for Children is Samsung’s ongoing philanthropic commitment to help children live smarter, healthier and more sustainable lives. Through Hope for Children, Samsung works with its U.S. retailer partners and dedicated network of charitable organizations associated with renowned public figures. Collectively, these partnerships generate broad awareness and propel advancements in children’s education, healthcare and sustainability.

“We look back on the past 10 years of Samsung Hope for Children’s progress with great pride. The company’s technology and financial contributions have been catalysts for change, supporting more than 30 charities and 400 schools to help improve educational opportunities, advance the fight against childhood diseases, and create a more sustainable environment,” said YK Kim, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics America. “This important work could not have been done without the support of our influential business partners. We look forward to honoring them as we celebrate our organizations’ continued dedication to improving children’s lives.”
