The 19th<\/sup> Annual Nikkei Place Charity Classic Golf Tournament on May 29th<\/sup> at Riverway Golf Course in Burnaby was a huge success, thanks to everyone who participated and donated. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was a full house with 144 golfers.  From many generous people and companies, sponsorships and donations were received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was perfect \u2013 a little cool in the morning, but with the sun coming out in the afternoon, we saw everyone on the course with smiles, laughter and great shots making it a fun tournament for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was kicked off by Shinobu Honma from Chibi Taiko welcoming and energizing all players, and a speech from Hiroshi Yamamoto, the interim president of Nikkei Seniors Healthcare and Housing Society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full tally of funds raised has not been finalized, but we know we have surpassed last year\u2019s amount.  We will announce the amount raised in a future article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
