Support Initiatives for Kumamoto Earthquake Victims
In the wake of the devastating "Reiwa 8 Kumamoto Earthquake," we extend our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives and our heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected.
Second Career Co., Ltd., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has decided to contribute a total of 5 million yen to support recovery efforts in Kumamoto Prefecture. This includes a donation of 3 million yen in relief funds and an additional 2 million yen to the Peace Project, a certified non-profit organization engaged in emergency support activities in the area. This initiative underscores our commitment not only as a management support firm for athletes but also reflects our understanding of the significant social impact athletes can have.
Athlete-Led Support Activities
Our athletes are not just passive supporters; they are stepping up to contribute in meaningful ways. Here are some examples of their initiatives following the earthquake:
- - Tatsuro Hirai contributed 1 million yen through the Ryukyu Shinpo, motivated by a strong bond to his hometown and a desire for the quick recovery of the affected areas.
- - Ryo Tsuruya allocated 1 million yen to the Peace Project, indicating his wish for effective support through organizations that are actively working on the ground.
- - Takushi Takemi from Yatsushiro City in Kumamoto, celebrated a KO victory during the "Lmeino Shoot POUND OUT" event on August 2. In a heartfelt speech post-match, he expressed his passion for his hometown and conveyed a message of hope and resilience for the earthquake victims, inspiring listeners both on and off the ring.
Second Career, alongside its athletes, is dedicated to amplifying the energy and spirit of sports as a medium for social change. We remain united in our efforts to support the victims and encourage recovery in the affected areas. We earnestly pray for the swift restoration of normalcy and peace for everyone in the region.
