JASH Weekly Update 8/26: Virtual Charity Walk STARTS MONDAY!
August 30 – September 12, 2021
Dear Members and Friends of JASH, The VIRTUAL 2021 Visitor Industry Charity Walk (VICW) starts on Monday, August 30! This charity walk is an important fundraising event that supports our educational programs like our Japan Wizards Competition (JWC) and the Asian-Pacific Children’s Convention (APCC). The funds raised through this walk support JASH and other non-profit organizations throughout Hawaii. Support JASH students and our programs by joining our JASH walking team! From August 30 to September 12, walkers will use a mobile application to track steps and connect with Team JASH. To join, click here and select “Pledge To This Team” to register as a walker. Registration (which counts as a donation!) is $50 for adults and $25 for children under 18. Walkers will receive an email with information on how to set up the step-tracking app upon registration. Want to donate to JASH instead? Help us maximize our charity walk turnout by making your tax-deductible contribution via the VICW. Donating is through the same page as signing up to walk; click here and select “Pledge To This Team” to make a donation towards JASH. ANYONE can participate in the Charity Walk! Invite your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, clients, schools, clubs, etc. and safely track your steps from August 30 to September 12. Thank you for supporting our students!
