TDCC held the "Everyone Supports Baseball Charity Event" on the afternoon of June 17th. The event invited a juvenile baseball team from Jiangmei elementary school in Penghu County to participate. Thirteen young players, under the guidance of the Rakuten Monkeys baseball team, excitedly visited the Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium. They had the opportunity to interact closely with their idol players and also watched a game between the Rakuten Monkeys and the CTBC Brothers in the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The aim was to encourage the young players to relentlessly pursue their baseball dreams through firsthand experience at Taiwan's premier baseball venue.

The event took place at the Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium. In support of the "Everyone Supports Baseball" movement, TDCC displayed a themed sign that read "Everyone Supports Baseball, Let's Do Charity" at the venue. Attendees were invited to place baseball-shaped stickers on the sign to symbolize their support for the movement. The enthusiastic fans actively participated, and TDCC also made a donation to support the training expenses of the Jiangmei juvenile baseball team from Penghu County.

TDCC's President, Te-Hsiang Chen, mentioned that Jiangmei Elementary School is a typical mini-school in Penghu County with only around 30 students. The baseball team consists of 21 players and has achieved remarkable success under the guidance of Coach Chang-shou Wang. The Jiangmei juvenile baseball team has won numerous national and regional championships and secured the championship title at the 2nd BFA U12 Baseball Championship in 2002, earning the reputation of being the " Jiangmei juvenile baseball team Legends." During the charity event, the organizers specially invited the team's star pitcher, Zi-qiao Ou, to throw the ceremonial first pitch, with Coach Wang Chang-shou serving as the catcher, symbolizing the generational legacy of Taiwanese baseball.
