Brose China: Employees support seriously ill children

From February 17 to March 14, employees at our Chinese locations organized a fundraising campaign to support the Jilin Charity Federation. They raised an impressive sum of around 20,000 euros together with company support to assist the treatment of sick children.

Ray Mirzaei, Chief Operating Officer of Brose Asia, explained: "Last year, we were able to support the local children's hospital through the commitment of our employees at the ‘Ma Walk’ in Changchun. Following this success, we expanded the campaign to all locations in China this year. The aim was to help even more children who urgently need medical treatment.”

With the "Ma Walk" charity run in 2024, the employees paid tribute to the commitment of their colleague Ma Jianming, an employee from Changchun seat production, who walked the approximately eight-kilometer route to the plant during the pandemic despite the most adverse weather conditions in order to ensure on-time delivery to our customers. At the time, the donations of around €4,000 made it possible to treat three children suffering from leukemia. Today, all three children are doing well again.

The impressive campaign was supported by colleagues from all over the country, who made generous donations. For example, a charity bazaar was organized, for which employees donated a wide variety of items. In addition, about 60-70 employees from production and administration took part in the MA Walk in Taicang. Jilin Charity Federation will use the donations to provide therapy for further children.
