General Charity Ball Information
The annual ACCJ Charity Ball has always been and continues to be the one social event that everyone wants to attend and one that marks the end of the year for the American business community in Japan. In years prior, the event has also been known as the Winter Festival Ball, the Crystal Ball, the Charity Crystal Ball and the Diamond Charity Ball. The annual ball, in whatever form, has always been a glitzy and glamorous affair attended by some of the most powerful and influential members of the American business community in Japan as well as the U.S. Ambassador and his wife, the Chief of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, foreign dignitaries, Japanese political leaders and senior officials of the Japanese government, as well as entertainers from television and film. The ACCJ Walk-a-thon, held in the fall, is a lead up to the Charity Ball.
Each year, proceeds from the Ball and Walk-a-thon are donated to select charities. Past charities include:
- The ACCJ Community Service Fund
- The Mike Makino Fund for the Homeless
- The Soma City Scholarship Fund for Orphans and Victims of the Disaster
- Fukushima City Public School System
- Taylor Anderson Fund for Ishinomaki
- Smiles and Dreams: Tohoku Kids Project
- Nadia
