For the “smiles, vitality and life force" of all people.

Ceres supports the Only One Table Tennis Championships, which aim to promote mutual understanding between people with and without disabilities.

We believe many things can be learned and gained from people with and without disabilities by making the most of their individuality and interacting with each other. Looking at the photos taken at this Festival, all of them are filled with “smiles, vitality and life force".
We support this event because we thought that making more people aware of these kinds of opportunities and supporting them will connect Japan to the future.

Support Para-Sports Festival
We sponsored the first Only One Table Tennis Championships in Tokyo

What is the Only One Table Tennis Championships?
The purpose of these games is to promote mutual understanding between people with and without disabilities.
- First of all, making the most of a disability by participating in the games, and teaching others about disabilities
- A strong life force can be felt from those who play hard while still coping well with their disability.
We hope the Only One Table Tennis Championships can support para sports as well as provide a place where people with disabilities can spontaneously express their individuality. We also hope people without disabilities can learn from people with disabilities there. Making the inspiration and strong life force of para sports participants the theme, this event aimed to promote para sports as well as to promote interactions between people with and without disabilities in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
