ACCJ No Show Charity Ball Auction

The ACCJ "No Show" Charity Ball Online Auction supports charities helping people struggling during the pandemic:

- Mike Makino Fund for the Homeless
- Community Service Fund for Tokyo
- Community Service Fund for Kansai

Additionally, we are supporting local artists and businesses directly with Community lots that split your donation between the artist or business and our charities. Lots 54 through 71 are dedicated to those businesses and individuals who have supported the Charity Ball over the years but have suffered financially during COVID. The starting bid amount will go directly to them and anything over that amount will go to the ACCJ Charities. This is our chance to really give back to our community – and remember, even though restaurants seem busy and things are returning to “normal,” the losses incurred during the last year and a half will take a long time to recover from. We thank you for your support!

With your generous donations, the ACCJ will make a substantial contribution to our local charities and our community. We thank you in advance for your support!
