2020 Disbursement Ceremony

Walkie Walrus • Nov 03, 2020

Distributing ￥6 million to local organizations

On Tuesday, October 27, Nagoya International School (NIS) had the great pleasure to host the Funds Disbursement Ceremony for the 29th Annual Chubu Walkathon. As in the past several years, the Grade 10 Japanese Language and Literature class challenged themselves to organize, host, and emcee the event.

In collaboration with the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) Chubu Chapter and NIS, this year the Walkathon raised ￥6,000,000 yen to distribute among 20 different charitable organizations working in the Chubu region. These small charities do amazingly important work to help make the Nagoya and surrounding areas a wonderful place to live!

Due to strict health and safety protocols, it is unfortunate that we had to limit the number of guests to attend the ceremony. But, the event was live-streamed from the Walkathon Facebook Page. Here is a short clip from the event.
