On April 20, KB Kookmin Bank announced that it had sponsored the "31st Holt National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament Goyang Special Market Cup" in commemoration of the 46th Day of Persons with Disabilities.

The 31st Holt National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament Goyang Special Market Cup, sponsored by KB Kookmin Bank, kicked off on the 18th.

The "Holt National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament" is the nation's longest-running single sporting event for people with disabilities, marking its 31st anniversary this year since its inception in 1995. KB Kookmin Bank has sponsored the event every year since 2008, except for 2020 when the tournament was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year's tournament was held from April 18 to April 20 at the Holt Gymnasium for the Disabled in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Approximately 600 people participated, including players, game officials, and spectators, with six teams from the domestic first division league among the participants.

The "KB Good Food Truck," operated by KB Financial Group, was also present at the event. This program is one of KB Financial Group's flagship inclusive finance initiatives, aimed at improving the business environment for food truck small business owners struggling with high prices and interest rates, while supporting opportunities for community engagement. At the event, complimentary snacks and beverages were provided to players and volunteers as a gesture of encouragement.

In addition to sponsoring the Holt National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, KB Kookmin Bank continues to support university students with disabilities. Since 2009, the bank has run the "KB Laptop Support Project for New University Students with Disabilities," providing first-year students with the latest laptops and assistive devices tailored to their needs, helping to bridge educational gaps and strengthen their academic capabilities.
