Since 1978, the Nikkei Matsuri Festival has showcased the contributions and cultural achievements of the Japanese American community. Nikkei Matsuri’s origin began with the City of San Jose’s 1977 Bicentennial Celebration, Issei Legacy, which was an event that coordinated over thirty Japanese American cultural groups and associations. For the past 46 years, the all-volunteer Nikkei Matsuri Committee has worked to share and preserve the culture and heritage of the Japanese American traditions through the presentation of food, arts and crafts, performing arts, demonstrations, and cultural exhibits in the heart of historic San Jose Japantown.

CARE Registry and Yu-Ai Kai will be tabling at this event, so don't forget to stop by!

2025 COFACC Annual Strategic Planning

Conference & Small Business Expo

On Saturday, January 25th, the CARE team had an amazing time attending the 2025 COFACC Annual Strategic Planning Conference & Small Business Expo. The event, hosted by the Coalition of Filipino American Chambers of Commerce (COFACC)—a national organization representing 48 chambers of commerce across the U.S.—was both engaging and productive. It was a fantastic opportunity for CARE Registry outreach, allowing us to connect with the Filipino-American community nationwide in a meaningful way.

Thank you, COFACC, for inviting us to be part of this incredible event! We truly appreciate the chance to collaborate and engage with such a vibrant community.

Korean American Community Services

First Full Moon Festival

The CARE team attended the Korean American Community Services (KACS) First Full Moon Festival on February 14, 2025. The event was filled with vibrant energy, featuring live performances, including ukulele, line dancing, and a traditional Korean drum performance (Jangu). There was also a knitting exhibition, raffle drawings, community resource tables, and delicious Korean food, including bibimbap!

Many people showed interest in the CARE Registry, and we were excited to share our goal of amplifying the voices of AANHPIs in research. A big thank you to KACS for hosting us and to everyone who attended to show their support for the community!
