Planning Meeting - 2008 Nagoya Walkathon

2008 Nagoya Walkathon

May 18, 2008 - Meijo Koen

2008 brings the ACCJ / NIS Walkathon and International Charity Festival into its 17th year. Over the past years this event has been a huge success and has become the largest annual international event in Nagoya.

More importantly, it brings together nearly two thousand members of the International and Japanese communities to support the vital work being conducted by local NPOs and charitable organizations.

The Walkathon has also been successful in raising money for local charities and last year the Walkathon Committee was able to distribute over 7.5 million yen to charities, which support children in the Chubu Area. This year we hop to improve on that success.

Along with a new and improved event for the participants, the Walkathon Committee has also set a goal to raise 10 million yen and we need everyone’s help in reaching this goal, whether you are participating as an individual or as part of an association or company.

The Walkathon should prove to be a fun and memorable event and a super opportunity for international exchange between members of the Japanese and International communities. So invite your friends and family and join in the fun.
