At the end of 2023, Yonglin Foundation participated in a charity auction organized by Zhang Yucheng, a Taiwanese professional baseball player in the United States. The foundation successfully bid NT$300,000 for Zhang Yucheng's blue game jersey from the 2023 World Baseball Classic, and the proceeds were donated to the Mufeng Taiwan Charity Association.

Today, Yonglin Foundation Executive Director Gou Xiaoling and Zhang Yucheng visited the association's headquarters. During their visit, they handed over the jersey as a commemorative gift, accompanied by the children as they practiced baseball. In addition, they gifted the children exclusive Yongling Mandarin reading materials, encouraging them to enhance their language abilities and broaden their horizons through reading.

Yonglin Foundation has long been committed to supporting education and social welfare for disadvantaged children and promoting sports development. In 2023, the foundation also made a significant contribution to help the Penglai Elementary School Little League team from Yilan County travel to the United States to compete in the Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament, resulting in an international runner-up finish. This donation was made in response to Zhang Yucheng's fundraising efforts via a Facebook post, which was aimed at supporting the team's participation and helping children achieve their dreams of playing abroad.

This event was also part of Zhang Yucheng's ongoing charity efforts through his "Zhang Yucheng Game Equipment Charity Auction", which he has hosted for years. His initiatives focus on promoting sports scholarships, supporting youth baseball teams, and providing educational resources to disadvantaged communities. Zhang Yucheng also serves as the charity ambassador for the Mufeng Taiwan Charity Association.

Mufeng Taiwan Charity Association Secretary-General Lin Qionglin expressed gratitude, noting that the association has long collaborated with the Yongling Foundation, particularly in offering free teaching materials and training programs that help staff better support the children in their care. Lin shared that this recent donation, along with Zhang Yucheng's personal involvement, brought warmth and encouragement to the children as they entered the new year.

Yonglin Foundation Executive Director Gou Xiaoling emphasized the importance of emotional education in both the classroom and in family settings. She highlighted the shared mission of the Yonglin Foundation and the Mufeng Taiwan Charity Association to help disadvantaged children grow in a supportive and loving environment. She hopes that, through balanced development in both education and sports, the children will build the confidence and resilience they need to face life's challenges.
