The NC Dinos celebrated Disability Day with Gyeongsangnam-do and NH Bank.
NC announced on April 1, “Together with Gyeongsangnam-do Province and NH Bank, we held D-NATION DAY to celebrate Disability Day on April 20 at the game against the LG Twins at Changwon NC Park.”

To commemorate D-NATION DAY, Choi Man-rim, Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, Shin Shin-woo, Director of Gyeongsangnam-do Welfare and Women's Affairs, and Lee Jin-man, CEO of NC Dinos, attended the Changwon NC Park to discuss the low participation of people with disabilities in culture and arts in the region and community contribution activities to improve it.
Jang Sang-ho, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Federation of the Blind and Visually Impaired Welfare Association, gave the victory speech. Jang Sang-ho is visually impaired, and he performed the poem to convey the message that ‘nothing is impossible'. 안전놀이터 추천 Kim Young-gyu, Jang Sang-ho's favorite athlete, played the role of the opening salute and cheered for the meaningful ceremony.
Chairman Jang Sang-ho said on the mound before the game, “I never dreamed of throwing a baseball in a baseball field in my life, but I'm really excited to throw a ball like this in front of the players and supporters. I am grateful to those who helped me organize the game.”
“Watching today's baseball game reminded me that everyone should have easy access to culture, sports, and other leisure activities regardless of disabilities. We will continue to work together with the public and private sectors to discover measures that the disabled can experience so that they can participate in various sports and art events,” said Choi Man-rim, Governor of Gyeongnam Province.
Cho Cheong-rae, Head of Gyeongnam Headquarters of NH NH Bank, said, “I think all residents have the same desire to enjoy and participate in sports. We will continue to actively support the province's welfare policies for the disabled to expand their cultural and leisure rights.”
Lee Jin-man, CEO of the NC Dinos, said, “It is very meaningful to be able to provide the opportunity to watch a baseball game and a ball game on Disability Day with Gyeongsangnam-do and NH Bank. We will continue to show our support and interest in Gyeongsangnam-do's disability welfare brand, ‘Gyeongnam Disabled World' through the club's D-NATION,” said Lee Jin-man, CEO of the NC Dinos.
Through its social contribution program ‘D-NATION', NC has been spreading warmth to the local community through various social contribution activities, and in September 23, it received a commendation from Gyeongsangnam-do for its contribution to the local community.
