BellSystem24 will sponsor The 10th NIPPON IT Charity EKIDEN organized by NIPPON IT Charity Ekiden Executive Committee (chairperson: Chuck Wilson) and co-organized by Tokyo Waterfront City Association (chairperson: Hisashi Hieda) to be held on November 10, 2019. Some of our employees will participate in the event as runners. The NIPPON IT Charity EKIDEN is a charity event that started in 2010 to connect people through sports in the IT industry. Profits from the event will be donated to organizations supporting the employment of people who are depressed or socially reclusive.

It is said that the increase in the number of people suffering from depression began in the IT industry because it is a special type of business while it is regarded as a lively and energetic field. BellSystem24 decided to sponsor the event, sympathizing with its theme. The event wishes to support young people working to overcome present hardships by encouraging participants to help and cheer each other on through the sport, ekiden.
