Thomas Shoyama Sakura Gala Postponed

Thomas Shoyama Sakura Gala Postponed

In response to the global pandemic of COVID-19

We have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming Thomas Shoyama Sakura Gala due to rising health concerns with the coronavirus pandemic. For the safety and peace of mind for all involved, we feel that this is the best decision at this time.

All attendees, please hold on to your tickets, we will be sending out information about the rescheduled Gala date as soon as we are able to confirm with our award recipients, venue, and partners. Ticket refunds will be made available after the announcement for any attendees that are unable to attend.

Please contact us at gala@nikkeiplacefoundation.org with any questions, concerns, or requests.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to protect the safety and health of our community. We appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.
