JCCU conducted the "Para Nordic Ski Support campaign” from March 21, 2018 to March 20, 2019. Donations totaling 457,284 yen were collected from member co-ops nationwide.

The Para Nordic Ski Support Campaign is to donate 1 yen from the sale of the target product “CO・OP Nutrition Support Cookie” to the Japan Para-Ski Federation. Donations are used for training camps for the junior team that consists of players in their teens and twenties, as well as to cover the expenses of their international tournaments. The campaign was made through the home delivery catalog and the store outlets of consumer co-ops nationwide. During this one year campaign period, 457,284 target products were sold.

FUJII Yoshitsugu, Managing Director of JCCU in his message stated, "I would like to convey the heartfelt support of co-ops nationwide and their members. We will continue to support the athletes who are working hard in para-sports."

Mr. SHIINA Shigeru, the President of the JAPAN Para-Ski Federation also gave a word of appreciation by saying, “Thank you for your support. I would like to lead the way for the upbringing of the next generation.”

In addition to the presentation, two national flags filled with handwriting messages by co-op members were delivered.
