Japanese Heritage Night at the Mets

YouTube offers a view from the stands of performances in honor of the Third Annual Japanese Heritage Night at the New York Mets Citi Field, hosted last month.

Japanese Heritage Night is an important fundraising event, with a portion of each ticket sale purchased online going to the Tomodachi Fund of the U.S.-Japan Council. The Tomodachi Fund supports Japan's recovery from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami through the strengthening of cultural and economic ties and individual exchange between the United States and Japan.

Ann Harakawa, Two Twelve Principal, U.S.-Japan Council delegate, and Board member of the Japanese American National Museum, helped to initiate this yearly event through her long term professional relationship with the Mets. Through her involvement, Two Twelve contributed by designing invitations, banners and programs to help promote and commemorate the event.
