From our friends at OneJustice:
"Opening Doors to Justice 2022 was the best one yet! Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, honorees, attendees, and in-kind donors, last week's event at the Four Seasons San Francisco exceeded our fundraising goal, raising more than $550,000! Your generosity and commitment to increasing equitable access to justice across California is so greatly appreciated. Our staff is excited and energized to continue our work in the year ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable night!"
Thank YOU OneJustice, for being such a great client and for doing such important work for marginalized communities ❤

The LGBTQA+ community is not just in The Castro! The Japantown Rainbow Coalition is a group of Japantown community members who organized to raise the Pride Flag in the Japantown Peace Plaza for the first time ever. The project is sponsored by the SF Chapter of the JACL with community support from the Berkeley JACL, Omusubi, and the Buddhist Church of San Francisco (of which our President and COO Richard Jiro Okiuye sits on the board) 😊 🏳️🌈
Check out the recap of the flag-raising event they held last weekend:

Culinary world remembers Rohnert Park sushi chef Ken Tominaga as a ‘master’
Very sad news. A big loss to the culinary world:
Tominaga developed a cultlike following after launching Hana Japanese Restaurant in 1990 in the DoubleTree Plaza shopping mall. He died Monday at 61.

Today we are producing Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS)'s annual fundraiser "Petchitecture", so while we're hard at work at the Fairmont Hotel, here's a #TBT set of photos from last year's Petchitecture in the Gold Room, which - despite the Omicron surge - was a rousing (and furry) success! Stay tuned for photos from today's event. In the meantime, enjoy last year's photos of friends and doggos!

Oh what a night!
Here are some behind-the-scenes shots from our event last week, "Opening Doors to Justice," by OneJustice, where we celebrated the life-changing legal help they bring to immigrants, survivors of domestic violence, returning members to society, and their families throughout California. At this celebration, OneJustice honored companies and individuals who have worked tirelessly to promote access to justice throughout the state.
Congratulations to OneJustice for hitting their fundraising goal at the event!
...Also look at how those forks are laid out. So beautiful!

Last week the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce held its 172nd Annual (yes, you read that right) Meeting at CityBeat Breakfast, and we were honored to be the event producer! Each year CityBeat Breakfast brings together Bay Area's top business and civic leaders to apply fresh thinking to today's greatest economic, political, environmental and humanitarian challenges. This year's CityBeat featured speeches by Mayor London Breed and a whole host of other amazing city business leaders. Here's our team in action!

Oh what a night!
We had so much fun producing Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus's 50th anniversary reception last week at The Pearl SF in the Dogpatch.

☝️ 1 week left to donate to San Francisco Japantown Foundation's Community Fund at charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/heartofjtown
We want to thank Yuichi Yamakawa, President of Kintetsu Enterprises Company of America (KEA), who donated at 🌷 Chrysanthemum Level! KEA first established Japan Center with the 1968 opening of Miyako Hotel (now Hotel Kabuki) and Kintetsu Mall (Japan Center Malls West).
Mr. Yamakawa recalls, "There was 🌸 Sakura Matsuri; activities planned by the Japantown Merchants Association; summer and fall festivals, and the yearly 🍡 mochi pounding at New Years where I was named the “man of physical labor” because I was the youngest staff member...I had to wear a 🎅 Santa Claus suit throughout the entire month of December in 1983!
I want to see SF Japantown continue to exist for the future. Even though our company no longer has property in Japantown, I believe it is still important to support it and I thank the community for the wonderful memories and experiences it has provided me.”

Thank you for your support Yuichi-san! 🙏 Please share this campaign with your family and friends, and give what you can, no amount is too small to fund Japantown's future. charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/heartofjtown
