For 50 years, San Jose Taiko has taught, performed, and expanded the art form of taiko to create a strong Asian image, uplift a powerful voice for Asian Americans, and celebrate our Asian American identity and experience to challenge racial and gender stereotypes.
Your steadfast friendship and support have helped us reach 50 years, and we need your help now to lay the foundation for the next 5 decades.
We need to raise $40,000 by the end of the year. If we do so, generous donors will match it, for a total of $80,000 towards our annual fund!
Please donate NOW, help us make our $40k match, and double your impact.
