We take this opportunity to share highlights from this year and hopes for the next.
We take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all our Nikkei Place supporters - your efforts help us continue to persevere through the challenges of COVID-19, so that our charities can continue to operate and serve the community.
Kaye Kaminishi, third baseman for the legendary Vancouver Asahi Baseball Team, will receive this year’s 2019 Thomas Shoyama Lifetime Achievement Award at Nikkei Place Foundation’s annual fundraising dinner. Previous recipients include Dr. David Suzuki, Joy Kogawa, Arthur Hara, Gordon Kadota, and Henry Wakabayashi.
Mini Matsuri is just one of the many ways the NNMCC is working to fulfil its mission to honour, preserve, and share Japanese culture and Japanese Canadian history and heritage for a better Canada. All proceeds from Mini Matsuri will support the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
This year, our dear friend Sam Yamamoto is turning 99! For decades, he has devoted skill, expertise, and generosity to Nikkei Place, and his passion for our community still continues to this day.
Please join in making a donation to Nikkei Place in celebration of Sam’s birthday.
