In our world's vast expanse, I wonder: What can a person living far away do to make a difference? I've discovered a powerful avenue – the AJGA donation program, a chance for us to lend a hand to those affected by the recent Japan earthquake.

As a Japanese, our culture embodies unity and generosity. This program allows us to extend our reach, to be a beacon of hope for those facing the aftermath of the quake.

[Noto Peninsula earthquake Japan]
A large earthquake shook Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan on New Year's Day. As of 5 April 2024, there were 245 deaths confirmed, two people remaining missing, 1,299 others injured across six prefectures and over 15,000 people are still staying at temporary shelters.
There is an urgent need to improve the living conditions of disaster victims and address their health needs.

I ask for your support in this endeavor. My goal is to raise $2000. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a step towards alleviating the burdens faced by our fellow countrymen.

Your contribution will not only support the Peace Boat Disaster Relief (Give2Asia), but will also impact other junior golfers through the Liberty National ACE Grant.

The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are 100% tax-deductible.

You can make a one-time donation with your credit card or contribute via check, please make the check out to "AJGA - ACE Grant" and send to:

American Junior Golf Association
Attn: ACE Grant
1980 Sports Club Drive
Braselton, GA 30517

(Please also include my name in the memo line)

Thank you for being part of this journey towards a brighter world.

Sincerely,
Taiki Matsuya
