[Hakuho Shinyaku] Sponsoring “Meikyukai Baseball Camp in Vietnam” *~Holding youth baseball class in Ho Chi Minh City~*
Hakuho Shinyaku Co., Ltd. held the “Meikyukai Baseball Camp in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam” on January 27, 2024.
We served as a sponsor at “Vietnam”. This baseball class was co-sponsored by the Nippon Professional Baseball Association and the Japan-Vietnam Baseball Association, and was held with former Japanese professional baseball player Alex Ramirez. The purpose is to give dreams and hopes to children through baseball, and to contribute to the spread and increase of the value of baseball in Vietnam.
At this event, players from Ho Chi Minh City’s youth baseball team had the opportunity to receive direct instruction from Mr. Ramirez on everything from basic baseball techniques to applied techniques. This event provided a valuable opportunity for the participating children to learn about the skills and experience of professional athletes, and was a great source of inspiration. In addition, Mr. Ramirez taught the children not only about baseball techniques, but also about the mindset needed to become mature members of society, which served as an opportunity to encourage the children’s physical and mental growth.
Hakuho Shinyaku Co., Ltd., with its supplement business at its core, aims to support the healthy growth of children through sports and contribute to local communities. This sponsorship is an important part of our company’s social contribution activities, with the cooperation of the Nippon Professional Baseball Association, the Japan-Vietnam Baseball Association, and Mr. Ramirez.
Hakuho Shinyaku Co., Ltd. will continue its value creation activities through health and sports, and is committed to positively impacting more people and contributing to society.
