SSG Landers launches a meaningful campaign to prevent dementia patients from going missing and raise awareness.

On the 18th, SSG Landers announced that it will hold the '2026 Dementia Overcoming Day' event in collaboration with the Incheon Metropolitan Dementia Center for the home game against KT Wiz at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 22nd.

According to SSG, this social contribution program, which has been consistently carried out over the past seven years to commemorate Dementia Overcoming Day (September 21), was organized to remind fans visiting the baseball stadium of the importance of preventing dementia patients from going missing and to create a safe local community.

On the day, SSG players will wear 'identification tags' issued to actual dementia patients on their hats as they take the field. At Gate 1, 3, and 7 of the stadium and at the Starbucks gate, 5,000 silicone bracelets carrying a message of coexistence with dementia will be given away to fans on a first-come, first-served basis.

Various participatory programs will also take place inside and outside the stadium. At Frontier Square (First Base Plaza), 20 promotional booths operated by relevant institutional investors, including local Dementia Care Centers and public nursing hospitals, will promote the missing prevention campaign.

Through the ground scoreboard, a 'Find Randy and Missing Prevention Quiz' will be conducted during inning breaks. The event will also feature joint parades by Incheon Metropolitan Dementia Center's mascot 'Danbi' and the team's mascot 'Randy', as well as live broadcasts from Gyeongin Broadcasting System, offering plenty of entertainment.

The pre-game official ceremony further enhances the meaning of the event. The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Bang Jeong-hwa, a person living with early-onset dementia who continues an active daily life after diagnosis, delivering a message of hope. Park Chan-dae, Mayor of Incheon City, will take the ceremonial first hit. The national anthem will be sung by musical actor Hong Ji-min, who has a mother suffering from dementia, to convey emotion.
