ACCJ's Christmas Charity Bash in Kobe

The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan is holding its first Christmas Charity Bash in Kobe this year. Do not miss this major event!

Get into the holiday spirit with the first-ever ACCJ-Kansai Christmas Charity Bash! Join us for an unforgettable night filled with cheer, community, and charity at the beautiful Oriental Hotel Kobe, where holiday magic and Kansai’s professional community come together. This festive event will be the perfect opportunity to make lasting memories, all while giving back to those in need.

Our inaugural bash will kick off with a special grand opening video honoring the ACCJ Young Professionals Forum’s legacy and future, followed by an inspiring toast led by the mayor of Ashiya. As you enjoy a gourmet holiday dinner, festive cocktails, and seasonal beverages, you’ll be serenaded with live holiday music, setting the perfect mood for this joyful celebration.

At the heart of the evening will be our exciting charity raffle in support of Food Bank Kansai. Every guest will be entered automatically, with additional tickets available for purchase on-site, offering more chances to win fantastic prizes while directly supporting a worthy cause. All raffle proceeds will go to Food Bank Kansai, allowing us to make a meaningful impact together.

With vibrant holiday décor, great company, and a lively program, this will be an evening to remember. Please note that space is limited to just 60 participants due to the seated format, so we encourage early registration to secure your seat. Let’s make our first Christmas Charity Bash a success that sets the tone for many more to come. Don’t miss out!
