Overview

We invite you to attend the Go For Broke National Education Center's 9th annual Evening of Aloha gala dinner at the Anaheim Hilton on Saturday, November 13, 2010. Evening of Aloha will feature a sumptuous meal prepared especially for guests by world-renowned Chef Roy Yamaguchi of Roy's restaurants and internationally recognized Chef Akira Hirose of Maison Akira of Pasadena, California. The evening's program will focus on the theme "Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Future," and also feature amazing entertainment, a fabulous silent auction and a special program that highlights the organizations work and the veteran's contributions.

Your support of Evening of Aloha will further the organization's mission, to educate the public about the responsibilities, challenges and rights of American citizenship, using life stories of Japanese American soldiers of World War II. Through proceeds raised from Evening of Aloha, GFBNEC can continue to collect interviews of veterans nationally, conduct teacher training workshops and institutes, create curricula and interactive lesson plans, develop innovative teaching tools, and offer the public first-hand accounts of engaging veteran testimonials.

For more information about this year's gala dinner, please contact Julia Tominaga at julia@goforbroke.org or by phone at (310) 222-5710.
