Servcorp Japan's Generous Donation to RFTC Japan

In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Servcorp Japan has proudly announced a substantial donation of ¥3,071,807 to the Run for the Cure Foundation (RFTC Japan), a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to breast cancer education, early detection, and patient support in Japan. This initiative marks a continuation of Servcorp Japan's long-standing commitment to social responsibility, as they have been actively fundraising for this cause for over a decade.

The funds collected this year are set to bolster RFTC Japan's vital programs, which include educational initiatives and campaigns that promote timely screenings for early detection. The donation will be deposited into the foundation's account within the month of October, aligning perfectly with the global observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Since kick-starting their annual summer fundraising events in 2015, Servcorp Japan has successfully amassed a staggering total of ¥26,877,049 through various creative and engaging community-driven initiatives. These initiatives involve not just the internal teams of Servcorp but also the clients who utilize their serviced offices, virtual offices, and coworking spaces throughout Japan.

Highlights of This Year's Fundraising Initiatives

This year's fundraising efforts featured a range of exciting activities, including:

• - Matsuri-style summer events that brought teams together in a celebration of culture and awareness.
• - Sales of specially curated breakfast sets and handmade lunch boxes, showcasing culinary talent and team spirit.
• - Raffle draws with prizes donated by partner companies, incentivizing participation and generosity.
• - Sales of regional specialties inspired by the diverse backgrounds of Servcorp's team members.
• - Ongoing solicitation of donations, capturing the goodwill of clients and partners.

The outstanding results of this campaign were made possible through the enthusiastic contributions of clients and team members alike. With over 90% of Servcorp's workforce in Japan comprising women, there’s a profound connection to the cause. As such, the organization feels a sense of responsibility and empathy toward the fight against breast cancer.

Voices of Commitment

Olga Vlietstra, General Manager of Servcorp Japan, expressed her sentiments by stating, “Supporting RFTC Japan is a mission close to our hearts. With over 90% of our team being women, we feel personally connected to this cause and deeply committed to doing our part. We are honored to contribute this year’s donation and build on years of partnership in pursuit of greater breast cancer awareness, screening, and care.”

In acknowledgment of Servcorp's significant aid, Vickie Paradise-Green, Chairman of RFTC Japan, stated, “We are deeply grateful for Servcorp Japan’s unwavering support and generosity over the past decade. Their commitment not only raises critical funds but also helps drive awareness and early detection efforts that can save lives. Partnerships like this empower us to reach more women across Japan with education, screening, and support.”

The timing of this donation resonates with alarming realities; according to the National Cancer Center Japan, about one in nine women in Japan will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Thus, Servcorp Japan takes great pride in its ability to contribute to RFTC Japan's programs, such as the J-Top (Japan Team Oncology Program), which seek to eradicate breast cancer through educational outreach, timely screenings, and comprehensive treatment support.

Conclusion

As part of a committed effort over years, Servcorp Japan continues to highlight the importance of breast cancer advocacy while furthering the mission to eliminate this life-threatening disease. The cumulative donations from 2015 to 2025 illustrate a persistent dedication to making a meaningful difference in the fight against breast cancer, supporting those in need and fostering awareness in the community.
