THANK YOU!
OKAY SO LET'S FINISH STRONG!
You can still make a difference!
I know some of you give regularly to J-Sei - if you could kindly put my name on the memo line and make sure it gets to J-Sei in May, we can help J-Sei provide essential services and be a great resource for our community!
LET'S GO!
And thank you so much for contributing to J-Sei in May!

Last year, thanks to your generous support, I was able to raise money for J-Sei. Collectively, the 2023 "Give In May" volunteers were able to raise over 10% of J-Sei's annual budget from over 471 donors!
Sooo, as John (the hubby) predicted, because of our successful fundraising efforts, J-Sei again asked me to fundraise for their 2024 Give In May campaign.
A Bit of "Housekeeping"
The Give In May effort is an ever-evolving campaign. This year, there are two ways to give your tax-deductible donation! You can conveniently give through my website from the red Donate button, or you can send in a check directly to J-Sei, 1285 66th St., Emeryville, CA 94608. Please write "Give In May - Cathy Fukuchi-Wong" in the memo section of the check (so my campaign gets credit for it :) . If you could please let me know you mailed a check - I can make sure it gets where it needs to go.
Again, we have gotten a commitment for $55,000 ($5,000 more than last year!) in matching funds so your generous donation will be doubled!
This year we are working with less fundraisers. So I am requesting for you to please pass along my link and a request a donation from anyone you think would be interested in contributing to J-Sei's effort. (Copy and paste - https://www.giveinmay.org/story/Caffygivesback)
For generations, J-Sei has been a vital support for people in the East Bay communities. Most people who grew up in the East Bay area probably know someone who has or does benefit from J-Sei’s services. J-Sei provides worthy and essential services, and with my parent’s example of support, you can see why I am so committed to this organization and its causes.
And speaking of generations - here's a fun fact! Did you know the Fukuchi family has been active in the J-Sei community for three generations? Yes, they have, and I have the pix to prove it! You can see for yourself on J-Sei's YouTube 50th Anniversary video here https://youtu.be/NMUl89-pNxc?si=BFkThq-02MzqR94X
I hope you recognize the value J-Sei provides for our community and therefore I am asking you to please consider giving generously to this worthy cause. The best thing about my friends and relations is that we are all there for each other. I appreciate in advance any amount you can give.
Please contact me directly if you have any questions. Just like you are there for me, I am here for you.
We have four short weeks to get it done! LET'S GO!
Your support means so much to me!
Thank you in advance for supporting our community! I surely appreciate it!
Best,
C
