Foundation for Taiwan Youth Baseball
In 2007, an “E. SUN High School Baseball Development Fund” was established with a view to promoting the sport and making possible a local equivalent of Hanshin Koshien Stadium in Japan, the venue for the country’s national high school baseball tournaments since 1924. E. SUN has begun to funnel corporate resources toward bettering the infrastructure of Taiwan’s high school baseball ever since. In collaboration with the Chinese Taipei Baseball Association, the company now plays host to the following events: E. SUN Cup National High School Baseball Championship, E. SUN High School Baseball Camp on Sports Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation, E. SUN High School Baseball Camp for Pitchers and Catchers, and Care for Hinterland Teams. Instead of just giving lip service, E. SUN takes action to support Taiwan’s high school baseball in the hope that more players will carve a name for themselves and their country in the global arena.
E. SUN’s devotion to promoting high school baseball in Taiwan has paid off. Both players and teams have exhibited tremendous progress—be it in the skills or mindset needed to rise above international competition. There is good reason to believe in a brighter future for the sport in Taiwan. What’s more exciting is that E. SUN’s dedication to helping advance the sport in Taiwan has not gone unnoticed; a growing number of companies and individuals are now taking grassroots baseball more seriously. Many companies have also taken action to honor their corporate social responsibility by helping foster baseball as a quality sport and protect players’ career development, thereby contributing to the cultivation of more competent players. Thus, many quarters in society are working together to make baseball—an invigorating and wholesome sport as it is—a force that unites the people of Taiwan and drives the nation forward.
