Thank You for Helping JACL Seattle Celebrate 91 Years

Thank you from The Seattle Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League!  You helped us celebrate our 91st Annual Banquet and Fundraiser on Saturday, April 20, raising funds for the organization’s community programs.

We had over 270 friends join us and you helped us raise over $32,000, including over $10,000 for their scholarship programs and $6,000 to send youth delegates to Washington D.C. in July.

We were also proud to honor our amazing community partners: Jasmit Singh of the Sikh Coalition received the Sam Shoji Unsung Hero Award; Beth Takekawa, executive director of the Wing Luke Museum, received the Community Engagement Award; and Washington United for Marriage, the organization behind Washington’s marriage equality push, received the Special Achievement in Civil Rights Award.
