第２回ジャパン・ヘリテージ・ナイトが６月２１日火曜日　メッツ球場 Citi Fieldで開催されます。 ６時半から僧太鼓の演奏で始まり、カラフルニューヨーク音頭の盆踊りが行われ、スクリーンでは野球発展に貢献したウオーリー与那嶺の業績が映し出されます。廣木重之大使のご臨席のもと東日本震災地の皆様の震災に負けないで頑張っている姿にSpirit Awardを贈ります。

Please help spread the word and come out to the ball game on this very special night! Pre-game show highlights include: an exciting Japanese taiko drum performance by Soh Daiko, the colorful and festive Japanese Folk Dance Institute of NY, and a very special video tribute to the late Japanese-American baseball great, Wally Yonamine!

The people of the disaster stricken area of Tohoku in Japan will also be honored with a Spirit Award in a special presentation with Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki, Consul General of Japan in New York.

Note: This year Japan has been hit hard by the tragic events that occurred in March. Much still needs to be done and Japanese Heritage Night has the potential to be a significant fundraising event. A portion of each ticket sold through our group will go to Japan relief efforts. The more tickets we sell, the more the Mets will donate. If we sell more than 500 tickets, the donation percentage will increase to as much as 25% of the ticket sales. To see photos and a video of last years event please check out the link to our facebook page below!
