On March 19, Yagi Construction Co., Ltd. (Honjo City, Saitama; Representative Director: Masayuki Yagi), a general construction company, presented a second year of activity support funds to local native Mana Sawada (a 3rd-year junior high school student), who has won a total of four BMX Racing World Championship titles.

Additionally, on March 2, the company donated 330 ceremonial chairs to Honjo Municipal Honjo Higashi Junior High School, the alma mater of President Yagi.

*BMX Racing, the sport Sawada competes in, is a demanding sport where riders compete for speed on a rugged course with many ups and downs.

Throughout our history of over 70 years, our company has worked not only on buildings but also on "creating environments where people can grow." Even today, we believe that supporting the growth of children who will lead the next generation is the first step in "sustainable town-building," which is the role of a local general contractor, and we continue to give back to the community.
