Please Join IWA and the Japan Fundraising Gala Committee 

for a

Virtual Cocktail Party

Tuesday, May 26, 5:00 -6:00 p.m.

to help us kick off an online silent auction and donation drive in support of IWA

 Registration free * Guests welcome

Mix and mingle with IWA friends on Zoom as we raise a glass and funds for our organization.  Due to Covid-19 this year, IWA was unable to proceed with our Annual Fundraising Gala.  As many of you know, membership dues only cover 60% of the cost of running IWA.  Funds raised at Gala help IWA make up this revenue shortfall and are what enable IWA to support the infrastructure it takes to offer member programming, organize special events, and pursue mission driven community service and philanthropy.  IWA is asking for your generosity. Help us maintain our financial obligations and sustain our vibrant organization which we know and love.
