ACCJ Charity Ball: An Evening in the Windy City

The ACCJ Charity Ball Online Auction supports charities helping people struggling during the pandemic:

- Mike Makino Fund for the Homeless (Tokyo Union Church, Franciscan Chapel Center, and Sanyukai Homeless Center)
- Community Service Fund
- YMCA Challenged Children's Project – YMCA/ACCJ Ohisama Camp
- YouMeWe

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!

Additionally, we are supporting local artists and businesses directly with ACCJ Community lots that split your donation between the donor and our charities. The starting bid amount goes directly to them and everything over that amount goes to the ACCJ charities. This is our chance to directly support our community during the ongoing economic impact of Covid. We thank you for bidding generously on these lots!
