The duet, FluetOboe, provided live musical entertainment, as did WA-GO.jp that performed with a Didgeridoo, an Australian aboriginal musical instrument, and the Japanese Tsugaru-jamisen. The atmosphere was also filled with lively conversation in a warm inviting setting.

The event raised a total of JPY 1,500,000 million, whose proceeds will go toward supporting the Foundation’s various breast cancer awareness initiatives.

We are grateful to Clare Walsh, The embassy’s Charge D’Affairs, for hosting the event, and to SERVCORP, which was the official sponsor of Cuisine for the Cure. The support of the community and our enthusiastic volunteers made the evening such a success.
