Raffle tickets go on sale this month for the 35th annual family festival at the International School of the Sacred Heart (ISSH) on April 26.
This year’s “Olympic” theme celebrates Tokyo’s winning the hosting rights to the 2020 Summer Olympics. Visitors of all ages can enjoy international food booths featuring cuisine from many countries, musical and dance performances, carnival games, a shopping bazaar, and a raffle for exciting prizes.
The festival will be held from 10am to 4pm, rain or shine, at the ISSH campus near Hiroo Station. Entrance is free of charge. Tickets will be sold to redeem for food, drinks and games. Raffle ticket sales will start March 17 and will continue until 3pm on the day of the event, when winning tickets will be drawn. Generous corporate sponsors donate prizes.
Proceeds will be used for educational programs at ISSH, as well as for charities in Japan and overseas, supporting the healthcare and education of underprivileged children. — WILLIAM AMSDEN
