The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee announced on the 28th that it held a donation ceremony for the construction of a youth-exclusive complex cultural space at the Busan City Hall on the 27th. A total of 1 billion won was raised through the 13th "Mercedes-Benz GIVE 'N RACE" event held in April this year, and 500 million won of that amount was donated to support youth programs in Busan.

Attendees at the donation ceremony included Shirin Emira, Chair of the Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee; Lee Sang-guk, a committee member; Jeon Jae-soo, Mayor of Busan Metropolitan City; Kim Byeong-gi (Head) from the social welfare foundation Children and Future; Choi Byeong-han (CEO)Lee Sa (President) from Busan MBC; and other key stakeholders who graced the event.

This initiative was planned to provide a dedicated space where youth in the Busan region can freely gather in their daily lives and actively participate in various cultural and experiential activities. The donated funds will be used for a complete renovation of an underutilized area within Songjeong Square in Jung-gu, Busan. Through this project, "Youth PLAY & ESG," a youth-exclusive complex cultural space covering approximately 315 square meters (about 95 pyeong), is scheduled to be established. Inside the facility, installations will include furniture and various experiential equipment for youth, alongside the development of effective program content. The space aims to officially open in 2027.

The Mercedes-Benz Social Contribution Committee holds the GIVE 'N RACE event annually, a marathon-style campaign promoting citizen-participation-based donation culture. Proceeds from the event have been continuously used to support projects that build specialized facilities for children and youth in local communities. Of the 1 billion won raised through this year's 13th GIVE 'N RACE, 500 million won was previously allocated to a child protection facility installation project in Dongducheon City, while the remaining 500 million won will be fully utilized for the Busan youth-exclusive complex cultural space construction project.
