Chubu Walkathon 2025

ACCJ members and guests gather in Nagoya’s Meijo Park to benefit local charities.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) Chubu chapter hosted the 34th annual Walkathon on May 18 in Nagoya’s Meijo Park.

Held each year in collaboration with Nagoya International School, the mission of the Chubu Walkathon is to support local charities and improve the lives of the less fortunate by creating an opportunity to increase awareness, recruit volunteers, and raise funds at a family-friendly, international outdoor event.

“Your contributions help transform and support the lives of many individuals through the charitable organizations we assist, including individuals living with illness or disabilities, mothers and children affected by domestic violence, and children in need of educational support,” said Nao Geisler, chair of the 34th Chubu Walkathon Planning Committee and the ACCJ–Chubu Community Service Committee (pictured below, top center).

“This year’s event was a tremendous success, offering a meaningful opportunity for many attendees to create memories with their families and friends. We deeply appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you again at next year’s 35th Anniversary Walkathon.”
