Continuing the Partnership with a Winning Team

Cook Deli Inc., headquartered in Tokyo and Osaka, is pleased to announce that it will continue its official sponsorship of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks through the year 2026. This commitment marks a positive step in the collaboration between food and sports, particularly in the context of supporting the local community. The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks achieved remarkable success last season, clinching the Pacific League Championship and becoming champions of Japan, showcasing their ability to inspire vitality and courage in the Kyushu region.

With a mission to support the rich lives of the elderly through food, Cook Deli aligns perfectly with the Hawks' vision to invigorate the region via their community enhancement projects, such as "Fight! Kyushu" and their historical social action programs. This partnership goes beyond mere business to establish a solid safety net in nutrition and food supply for the region, enabling people in Kyushu to live healthier and more joyful lives.

Nutrition Meets Sports: The Impact of Cook Deli

Cook Deli operates with the mission to establish a safety net for elderly meals. The company has developed a service specifically catering to nursing facilities, providing safe, delicious, and fully cooked frozen meal options. Working closely with various local welfare organizations, Cook Deli contributes to approximately 800 elderly care facilities in the Kyushu area, ensuring that seniors have access to nutritious meals that bring them joy and satisfaction. Supporting the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks means supporting the local community itself, which is of utmost importance to us.

Last year, the company invited partner facilities to enjoy a game at the stadium, reinforcing the idea that we aim to circulate the energy of sports back into the community, not merely serving meals. Events like these strengthen ties between Cook Deli and the local population, creating a community that flourishes together.

About the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks

Based in the Mizuho PayPay Dome in Fukuoka City, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are a professional baseball team belonging to the Pacific League. Last season, they achieved a memorable double championship – winning both the league and the national league titles with overwhelming strength. The Hawks maintain high attendance levels for their official games, drawing immense support from fans throughout the Kyushu region. For the upcoming 2026 season, the team will strive for further advancement with their slogan "Zenshin" (全新), which translates to "All New," as they challenge themselves at the next level while continuing to contribute to the community through their social initiatives and programs.
