Pink Ball

This year, RFTC Japan is marking the 20th anniversary of our annual black-tie fundraising gala, Pink Ball, and we are grateful to all of you who have helped us to reach this significant milestone.

Pink Ball is an evening of delectable food, spectacular entertainment, and an exciting live auction — all to support an important cause: protecting women’s lives.

Proceeds from the gala ball go towards RFTC Japan’s breast cancer awareness activities, including holding Hana-me seminars, publishing our bilingual women’s health magazine PiNK, and hosting PiNK Beauty Party events.

The 20th Pink Ball will be held on Friday, March 3, 2023. We invite you to register now and join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this very special event.
