Charity project held with Kashima Antlers F.C.
Daiwa Securities, in cooperation with official partner Kashima Antlers F.C., carried out a charity project on June 1-24, 2022, using the KASSAI tipping service of Fintertech Co., Ltd. In this project, fans and supporters purchase their favorite gifts and the money is donated to Japan Heart, an NPO that supports childhood cancer patients.
Approximately 6.2 million yen of support funds were collected from 528 participants.
One charity participant commented, "I was able to use money to solve social issues." We were able to propose a fund circulation system that contributes to the SDGs.
At a match sponsored by the Group on June 18, a ceremony was held for Ryuji Otsuki, President and CEO of CONNECT Co., Ltd, to hand over the list of donations to Japan Heart.
