On March 3 and 4, Chugai was a special sponsor of the Chugai “Chair Ski Class to be Enjoyed by Parents and Children,” organized by the Japan Chair Ski Association.

This event, now in its third year, offers children with disabilities the opportunity to experience and enjoy chair skiing with their families. 14 employee volunteers arrived the day before the event, completed a course in serving as chair ski guides, and then prepared to receive the participants.

The event was held by a total of approximately 70 people, including participants and their families, as well as students, teachers and staff from Kanazawa Institute of Technology. During the closing presentation, each of the participants showed off the results of their practice under the watchful eye of everyone in attendance, each skiing toward the goal they had set for themselves. Their families and the staff who served as their guides were deeply moved at the earnest effort each participant put into the challenge. The class was two days of heavy perspiration and lots of smiles.
