Seahorses Mikawa Hosts 'Kadono Seat' to Bring #18 Ryogo Kadono's Vision to Life: Heartwarming Basketball Exchange with Special Needs School Students and Post-Game Meet-and-Greet
Seahorses Mikawa invited students from special needs schools to a game and hosted an exchange event with player Ryogo Kadono.
Thank you for your continued support of Seahorses Mikawa.
As part of the Seahorses Mikawa sustainability project "Be With," we are pleased to report that we held the "Kadono Seat" project on Saturday, March 7, during the game against the Toyama Grouses, bringing the vision of #18 Ryogo Kadono to life.
On the day of the event, we invited 25 students from basketball clubs at special needs schools in the Nishi-Mikawa region, along with 26 parents and teachers, to watch the game. Following the match, we held an exchange event with Kadono to foster friendship with the students.
During the exchange event, Kadono engaged in a Q&A session with students who had previously participated in the "Special Needs School Joint Basketball Clinic" held in November, as well as their parents. It was a very meaningful time spent in a warm and enjoyable atmosphere.
This initiative was conducted in collaboration with AISIN Well Smile Co., Ltd., part of the Aisin Group.
We will continue to promote sports and provide sports education to help realize a brighter society filled with smiles.
Comment from #18 Ryogo Kadono
I am very happy that we were able to invite students from special needs schools to the game and interact with them directly.
They cheered for us with all their might during the game, and their voices gave us great strength.
At the exchange event, I received many questions, and their smiles and energy gave me a boost as well.
I hope today's time together becomes a fun memory for everyone.
I will continue to do my best to bring energy to many people through basketball.
Thank you for your support!!
