On October 14, YouMeWe welcomed supporters, partners, volunteers, and friends to our 2026 Hokkaido to Nagasaki Gala at Salesforce Tower Tokyo for an evening celebrating community, opportunity, and the future of children and young people in care all across Japan.
The evening gave us the opportunity to share the work happening across YouMeWe, including digital education, access to technology, and mentoring, as well as listen to the voices of those impacted by YouMeWe's support.
We extend our sincere thanks to Salesforce Japan for welcoming us to the Ohana Floor and helping provide a space where our community could come together. We are also deeply grateful to our Gala supporters and partners: Custom Media, Elana Jade, Park Hyatt Tokyo, Wine Prospérité, IHG Hotels & Resorts, KPMG, Robert Walters, Nagareyama L.E.A.D., Tokyo Yamathon / IVG-Japan, the U.S. Embassy Tokyo, and Tokyo American Club.
Every contribution, whether through donations, prizes, resources, partnerships, volunteering, or simply showing up to support the mission, strengthens what YouMeWe is able to provide.
And to every individual donor and guest who contributed to the Gala: thank you. Your generosity helps us continue creating opportunities for young people to build skills, confidence, connections, and stronger pathways toward independent adulthood. The Gala may have been one evening, but the support behind it continues throughout the year.
Thank you for being part of the YouMeWe community and for helping us build stronger futures together.
