Mercedes-Benz Provides 500 Million KRW Support for Abused Children in Seo-gu, Incheon

Utilization in the Establishment Project of Child Protection Agencies

Mercedes-Benz will donate 500 million KRW to support abused children in the Incheon area.

On the 25th, the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced that it will provide 500 million KRW in donations for the Incheon Seo-gu Incheon Child Protection Agency project, which is being carried out through public-private cooperation to help abused children.

Through this agency, which is scheduled to open this year in Geomam-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, programs for the recovery of abused children and prevention of re-abuse will be offered.

The donation was raised through the "11th Give & Race" event. This event, which combines donation and running, has been the signature social contribution activity of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee since 2017. Of the total 1 billion KRW raised this time, Mercedes-Benz delivered 500 million KRW to Busan in June to support child protection agencies, and the remaining 500 million KRW was given to Incheon.

Matthias Beitl, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Korea and chairman of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee, said, "It is very meaningful to be able to use the donations collected this time for children in the Incheon area following Busan," adding, "We will continue to support the healthy growth of future generations through more sincere social contribution activities."
