​
Did you know that by attending this event, you are helping the GVJCI and our community?  From all of us at the GVJCI, we thank you for the support you give us through this fundraiser.  We could not do all that we do without you.  We were built by the community, and we are sustained by the community.  Our mission: A space to engage, share, and embrace the Nikkei experience and culture.  In our busiest months, 3,000 people come to the GVJCI for classes, workshops, meetings, services, activities, and holiday parties.  We are so grateful for all those who utilize our facilities and services, participate in our programs, and keep the GVJCI an active community center.

We were formally incorporated in 1967, but our roots in the South Bay trace back over 100 years ago through our Japanese Language School's legacy.  We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the Nikkei and broader community of the South Bay through educational, cultural, social, and recreational programs.  We need your support to make these programs possible and keep our facilities in good operating condition.
Already booked that evening? No worries!  Donations are also welcome!

Corporate sponsorship and underwriting opportunities available.
