21th SHINKI-KAI Open Charity Golf Tournament (2012)

FOR JAPAN TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND AND SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING

Dear Golf Friends!!

Shinki-kai (The Association of Japanese Canadian Businesses and Professionals) is very happy to announce our Annual Open Charity Golf Tournament as follows,

The mission of 2012 Shinki-Kai Golf Tournament is to award scholarship to needy students both in Canada and Japan. In Canada, these scholarships are offered to students who need financial help to achieve their academic goals. In Japan the scholarships were and will be offered to needy students who lost their parents and houses during the March 2011 earthquake and devastating Tsunami.

Last year, Shinki-kai raised $36,000.00 from various charity events, including this golf tournament. $ 6000.00 was offered to 3 Canadian students and $ 30,000.00 was offered to 4 Japanese students at Miyagi University of Education, Tohoku area; who were most affected by the Tsunami.

This scholarship program has been Shinki-kai ongoing activities since 1991 and we like to continue with this tradition this year and the coming years. It’s our pleasure and pride to continue with this undertaking to help the Japanese students again, in the same area. Therefore we urge you to support 2012 Shinki-kai Golf Tournament, so that we can offer scholarship to Japanese and Canadian students to help them fulfill their academic dreams. Shinki-kai will be very thankful for your kind considerations, participation, sponsorship and donations. Together, let’s make this a success.

Yours Sincerely,

President of Shinki-kai,                  James Matsumoto
