Funds Raised Through the 13th “GIVE ‘N RACE”
The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced on August 28 that it has allocated 500 million won out of the 1 billion won raised through the 13th “Mercedes-Benz GIVE ‘N RACE” held in April, to support the creation of a youth-exclusive complex cultural space in Busan.
Shirin Amira, Chair of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee, stated, “It is especially meaningful that the warm hearts of GIVE ‘N RACE participants have been transformed into a new space where the youth of Busan can stay freely, experience a variety of activities, and grow. We will continue to engage in social contribution initiatives that make a tangible impact on the growth of future generations and the development of the local community.”

This support was initiated to provide a dedicated space where Busan’s youth can stay freely and participate in diverse cultural and experiential activities. The donated funds will be used to remodel an unused area within Songsanghyeon Plaza in Busanjin-gu, transforming it into a youth-exclusive complex cultural space called “Youth PLAY & ESG,” covering approximately 315 square meters (about 95 pyeong). The funds will also be used for furnishing, installation of experiential equipment, and program content development. The opening of the space is scheduled for 2027.
The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee has been consistently supporting the construction of facilities for children and youth in the community with funds raised from GIVE ‘N RACE, a citizen participation charity running event. Of the 1 billion won raised from this year’s 13th GIVE ‘N RACE, 500 million won has previously been allocated to the establishment of a child protection agency in Dongducheon City, while the remaining 500 million won is being used for this new youth-exclusive complex cultural space in Busan.
