“We extend our deepest appreciation to our supporters, board members, and staff for making the gala a huge success,” said LTSC Executive Director Erich Nakano. “It’s very important that we have this kind of support; it allows us to be responsive in supporting individuals and families in need while promoting the equitable development of ethnic communities and their rich cultural heritage.”
The gala’s theme, “Better Together,” celebrated the spirit of collaboration that strengthens the organization’s work. LTSC honored two essential community members, Alan Nishio and Hilda Solis. Nishio is a longtime educator, community activist and LTSC board member whose tireless dedication has impacted many lives. Solis, the Los Angeles County supervisor for the 1stDistrict, was recognized for her crucial support of LTSC programs, especially the Terasaki Budokan.
LTSC also presented a special tribute to the late Dean Matsubayashi, the former executive director, whose wit and wisdom continue to inspire LTSC’s work.
Celebrities Tamlyn Tomita, Keiko Agena, and chef Roy Choi all recorded messages of support for LTSC while musical acts June Kuramoto of Hiroshima, Point Lobo aka Miles Senzaki and Andrew Figueroa Chiang provided entertainment for the evening. The event also included a sneak peek of the Terasaki Budokan, the newly built multi-use recreational center in the heart of Little Tokyo and Downtown Los Angeles.
