On June 3, Chugai set up a hands-on wheelchair sports booth featuring wheelchair tennis, wheelchair basketball and chair skiing at the Yokohama Kanazawa-Hakkei campus of Kanto Gakuin University during Sozosai.

Chugai, a member of K-biz, the corporate partnership education platform of the school’s College of Business Administration, ran the booth with the cooperation of the Mainichi Newspapers, the Japan Wheelchair Sports Association and the Japan Chair Ski Association, along with student volunteers from the College of Business Administration.

Nearly 300 people showed up on the day of the event to experience these sports. Children who participated commented, “It’s fun riding in a wheelchair,” “It’s hard to steer a wheelchair while holding a racquet,” and “This was the first time I heard of chair skiing.” Some of them returned numerous times to try different sports.
The “K-biz Miracle Project” is aimed at creating a future for all, with the goal of achieving a truly inclusive society.
