CAC Holdings Corporation (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akihiko Sako) hereby announces that, through the Boccia Equipment Donation Project, for which a call for applications was made in October 2017, donations of Boccia tools have been made to 14 non-profit organizations or corporations that were either wanting to introduce Boccia as a recreation or sport, or that support disabled people.

As a Gold Partner of the Japan Boccia Association since 2016, the company is committed to the popularization and support of the sport of Boccia for people with disabilities. This project, part of the company’s activity to popularize Boccia, aims to get more people to experience the enjoyment of playing Boccia.

The company donated Boccia tools (balls and match equipment) to all 14 organizations that applied. The organizations were wide-ranging and, in addition to local Boccia clubs, included sports associations for disabled people, nursing homes, and the Girl Scouts. Boccia equipment was sent to people of all ages and diverse settings.

The CAC Holdings Group plans to continue the Boccia Equipment Donation Project so that Boccia can be experienced by as many people as possible.
