Chubu Children's Fund

Message from the 2023 Walkathon Committee Chair

Dear Sponsors and Supporters,

Thank you for your support of the 32nd Annual Chubu Walkathon. Your generosity will create change in the people's lives supported by the many charities to which we provide funding and from sponsorship and donations collected during the event.

We support a variety of organizations that work with children and adults, related to health issues, vocational support, education support and more.

We had great success yesterday with wonderful weather and many of us created great memories with our friends and families.

YouMeWe joined the Nagoya Walkathon after visiting Youkikai about the Social Impact Bond we are planning to help them scale to do their training for abusive parents in order to be reunited with their families.

We then stopped by Wakamatsu Ryo where H-chan (aged 10) completed the game she has been programming for a year. A ten-level game getting more and more challenging at each level.

Last stop, volunteering at the Chubu Walkathon. This was the 32nd year. YouMeWe has scholars who have also received scholarships from the Chubu Children’s Fund as well as laptops when they graduated high school as all are now enrolled in college.

Part of their scholarship program is to volunteer for related events while they are in school. It was great to see all the young adults and check in with them on how they are getting on.
