Hua Nan Financial Holdings Continues Long-Term Support for Grassroots Baseball

The 5th 'National Community Baseball Invitational Tournament,' guided by the Sports Administration of the Ministry of Sports, hosted by the Taiwan Little League Baseball (TLLB), and primarily sponsored by Hua Nan Financial Holdings, was held on July 4, 5, 18, and 19 (all Saturdays and Sundays) of Year 115 at Taichung's Jinlong Baseball Field, Tunghai University Baseball Field, Chun'an Baseball Field, and Wanshou Baseball Field. The tournament concluded successfully on July 19 at Taichung Municipal Wanshou Baseball Field, with the U12 championship game and all other divisions completed.

This year's tournament adopted an invitation-only format, divided into U10, U12, U15, and Girls divisions, with a total of 46 teams participating, bringing together talented community baseball players from across Taiwan. After two weeks of exciting competition, the champions of each division were as follows: U10: Power Hippo Team, U12: NBA Ganghu Community Team, U15: Xinzi Warriors, and Girls: Hao Bang Wuji Xian Team.

Hua Nan Financial Holdings launched the 'One Ball One Dream' grassroots baseball development program in 2007 (Year 96 of the Republic of China), and this year marks its 20th anniversary. For two decades, the company has consistently integrated group resources to support grassroots baseball development, from donating equipment to remote areas to supporting various local baseball events and international exchanges, accompanying children every step of the way toward broader baseball stages.

This year, Kuo Fu-Hsing, Director of the Administrative Management Division of Hua Nan Financial Holdings, served as the ceremonial first pitch guest for the U12 championship game, cheering on the young athletes before the match. To commemorate the 20th anniversary, Hua Nan Financial Holdings presented special 20th-anniversary commemorative badge sets and sports towels, creating a precious and memorable moment of honor for the young players.

Hua Nan Financial Holdings has supported the 'National Community Baseball Tournament' for five consecutive years, partnering with the Sports Administration and Taiwan Little League Baseball to build a more comprehensive environment for grassroots baseball development. By continuously supporting community baseball, the company hopes to enable more children who love baseball, regardless of background, to step onto the field and pursue their baseball dreams!

Community baseball emphasizes the spirit of 'setting aside wins and losses, coming together to play,' encouraging children to learn and grow through teamwork, accumulate experience and build confidence through competition, and make like-minded friends through baseball. In the future, Hua Nan Financial Holdings will continue to support the development of grassroots baseball through concrete actions, ensuring that every child with a baseball dream can bravely chase their dreams and fully express their passion on the field, injecting a continuous stream of fresh energy into Taiwan's baseball.

In addition to its ongoing commitment to baseball development, Hua Nan Financial Holdings is also actively building a healthy and happy workplace. At the end of May this year, the company established an employee exercise and stretching room, providing staff with a safe and comfortable space for physical activity and stress relief. Regular sports health lectures and yoga classes are also organized to encourage employees to develop consistent exercise habits. Through these practical initiatives, the company supports sports development and cares for employee well-being, creating more positive impact for Taiwan.
