26th Walkathon declared a success

The 2017 Chubu Walkathon was a successful event and we are extremely grateful to all who helped on Sunday, May 22.

Special thanks to all of our corporate sponsors, prize donors, volunteers, food vendors, band performers, OSU Girls, visiting guests, charities, students, parents, Morikoro Park, and of course, to all who purchased tickets!

We couldn't have done it without ALL of you!

A "Hansei-kai" meeting will be scheduled soon - and a date will be picked for next years event as well - we hope to see you all back in 2018!

Thank you EVERYONE for your support in joining us to together support the community!
