CANCELLATION OF PINK BALL 2020

Dear all,

We are deeply sorry to announce that, due to the increasing spread of Coronavirus in Tokyo, RFTC Japan has taken the difficult decision to cancel both Pink Ball 2020 and Casino Night 2020.

We have done everything in our power to try and host our annual events in a manner that would be enjoyable and safe for everyone. However, despite our best efforts, the recent and ongoing rise in Coronavirus cases means that we now believe that holding Casino Night 2020 on September 25 and Pink Ball 2020 on October 23 as planned would pose a risk of infection to our guests, staff, and volunteers, whose safety is our primary concern.

We know that this is disappointing news, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to see you at our Run for the Cure / Walk for Life event in December, and look forward to seeing you at our fundraisers in support of Japanese women with breast cancer next year.

Thank you very much for your continued support.

Yours,
RFTC Japan

Pink Ball is the Foundation’s biggest charity event of the year, and this year we celebrate our 18th anniversary. This year’s black-tie gala will be taking place on Friday, October 23rd, at Conrad Tokyo.

All proceeds raised will go towards the Foundation’s community outreach programs including breast cancer seminars and publication of PiNK, our quarterly bilingual magazine for women’s health. All of our programs are developed and carried out free-of-charge to improve the QOL of breast cancer patients and survivors, as well as to raise greater awareness in Japan – both in the Japanese speaking and international communities.
