PLEASE HELP! JAMsj has won a wonderful $1,000,000 California Cultural and Historic Endowment grant for a much-needed building expansion. But the grant requires matching funds from the community! We have just $50,000 left to raise by the end of this month (August 2005) so we can receive our grant. Can you help?

Japanese American Museum of San Jose
535 North Fifth Street
San Jose, CA 95112

Checks may be made out to Japanese American Museum of San Jose.
