We are writing this letter to humbly request your support for our fundraising efforts in 2023. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Mebae Kindergarten was founded in 1988 under the auspices of the Port of Sacramento Japanese School. Since then, children from the Greater Sacramento region have come to us to experience and learn Japanese language and culture.
Over the 35 years, our kindergarten program has become an integral part of the community providing early childhood education in Japanese language. We fully provide our lessons and materials in Japanese. This helps ensure readiness and smooth transitions for our students who eventually return to Japan. Children at Mebae Kindergarten are also immersed in Japanese traditions to help them understand their heritage and shape their own identity. The students and their families participate in seasonal events such as “Undoukai” (Japanese Sports Day).
We will hold our annual fundraising bazaar this November to help our teachers purchase instructional materials to continue the high-quality lessons and activities.
Your gift of generously donated items for our bazaar will benefit every student by bolstering their success in our program. We also welcome monetary contributions, and we will gratefully recognize your organization at the bazaar. Please make a check payable to Port of Sacramento Japanese School, should you choose to make a monetary donation.
“Arigatou Gozaimasu”—our deepest thanks to you in advance.
