Charity Christmas Dinner 2019
The Charity Christmas Dinner is a new way AHK Japan offers its members to both give to a good cause as well as generate valuable exposure.
Report
Time & Date: December 17 (Tue.) 2019, 18:30 – 22:00 Location: Grand Hyatt Tokyo
"Charity Christmas Dinner" was launched to give the annual “German Christmas Dinner” a meaning of "social contribution". We hope that the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan, together with its members, will help creating a sustainable society.
Last Year on December 17 the Charity Christmas Dinner was held at Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi. We welcomed about 200 participants in this Event to donate to Charity.
Like in 2018, the donations went to the Japanese Red Cross Society’s SDGs program aimed at the training and education of first responders in the case of (natural) disasters in Japan. Global warming and extreme weather are serious problems on a global scale. Japan is no exception. Every year natural disasters cause big damage and cost many lives. Furthermore, it forces problems in everyday life. One of the most important things in large-scale disasters is to develop a medical team to protect the lives and health of the affected people. The Japanese Red Cross Society provides medical care at disaster sites and temporary clinics, as well as patrols at evacuation centers. To do so, it is necessary to train people capable of responding to many situations.
Besides the silent auction, we also enjoyed a great entertainment program. Thanks to the cooperation of Steinway & Sons Japan Ltd. the pianist, Miyuji Kaneko performed three famous pieces from Liszt and Brahms on a Steinway grand piano. Everybody enjoyed the piano pieces and the fun exchange between Mr. Kaneko and the MC Mr. Maxwell Powers.
In addition, to minimize food waste we removed the dessert buffet.
We would like to thank all sponsors for their generous contribution and support! We would also like to thank to everyone who participated in the event, as well as the hotel staff.
This time the revenue of the silent auction items was 1.78 mil. Yen. Together with the proceeds of the Chamber, we will donate more than 1.9 mil. Yen to the Japanese Red Cross Society.
