The JASC Annual Charity Golf Tournament is an important networking event that allows members of the local international business community to come together for a relaxed day of golf followed by a sushi dinner. Employees of both Japanese companies located in Colorado and Colorado companies doing business in Japan have the chance to meet and learn from one another. This fun event was held in June at Plum Creek Golf Club. We were happy to collaborate with the Japanese Business Association of the Rockies. We welcomed more than 100 golfers and 10 volunteers.

Expenses: $30K

Passport to Japan is a top program of Japan America Society of Colorado, focusing on basic conversational Japanese language, cultural lessons, and general information about travel throughout Japan.
