Sponsoring the "Chugai Pharmaceutical 2025 Chair Ski Workshop for Parents and Children" Celebrating its 10th Anniversary

Chugai Pharmaceutical is sponsoring the "Chugai Pharmaceutical 2025 Chair Ski Workshop for Parents and Children," an event for children with disabilities and their families. This workshop, organized by the Japan Chair Ski Association, has reached its 10th anniversary this year. This year, the workshops were held at Miyagi Zao Eboshi Resort (Miyagi Prefecture), Hunter Mountain Shiobara (Tochigi Prefecture), Maiko Snow Resort (Niigata Prefecture), Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort (Niigata Prefecture), and Kiroro Resort (Hokkaido), with a total of 122 families participating.

At this year's chair ski workshop, many moments of challenge and growth were observed, such as children nervously trying chair skiing for the first time, and children who previously showed no signs of being able to ski alone successfully challenging themselves to ski independently.

The support provided by volunteer guide staff for the children plays a very important role. This workshop truly reflected its 10-year history, as some children who had participated since the beginning of the program now served as guides on the staff side. Some children, inspired by their participation in the parent-child chair ski workshop, have gone on to study abroad to further improve their skills or aim to compete in international competitions.

We will continue to support para-sports to help children discover new worlds and take on many challenges.
