Kansai Walkathon
By Kansai ACCJ
Organized by the ACCJ Kansai Chapter, the Walk-A-Thon combines the time-honored tradition of promenading in the park with food, music and more. There will be two walking courses, set at 2.1 km and 3.3 km, plus food and drink booths serving up a variety of international treats. Throw in a selection of hot talent from the Kansai music scene and you've got the makings of a darling day out for all the family.
And then there’s the good cause, of course. The ACCJ Kansai Chapter vigorously supports working women in Japan, recognizing the increasingly important role that they play in the continued growth of the country's economy. In keeping with this, the Chapter's new Community Service Committee has designated a major portion of charitable funds to be given equally to three Family Support Centers in Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe. These allow mothers to work by transporting children to and from pre-school or kindergarten, and watching over children before and after school.
In preparation for the Walk-A-Thon, the ACCJ Kansai Chapter is looking for corporate sponsors who share their values. It's also searching for volunteers to help with fund raising on the day itself.
