SUMMARY:Defining Courage
DESCRIPTION:Defining Courage is a story about what it means to be an American. The show is a journey into the legacy of the Nisei Soldier\, Americans of Japanese ancestry who served in the segregated military units of the 100th IB\, 442nd RCT\, MIS\, and 522nd FAB. Considered among the greatest fighting units in American military history\, their extraordinary stories have rarely been heard. \nNarrated by Emmy-winning ABC7-Los Angeles News Anchor and Filmmaker David Ono along with musicians and vocalists curated by Music Director Chris Wade\, we immerse you into the profound and inspiring world of these heroes who fought prejudice at home and the enemy abroad. \nSEE\, HEAR\, and EXPERIENCE their incredible heroics through this piece of innovative storytelling. Far from a history lesson\, it is a testament to inner strength\, one that inspires us in our search for courage in today’s world.

SUMMARY:2026 ACRS Walk for Rice
DESCRIPTION:We’re proud to perform in support ACRS’ mission and vision. \nSKT Performances\n09:15am: Start of the event \n10:30am: Send off the Walkers \n11:15am: Celebrate the Walkers return \n  \nWalking to End Hunger\, One Grain at a Time\nFor over 30 years\, Walk for Rice has brought people together to raise funds for the ACRS Food Bank and nutrition programs while raising awareness about food insecurity in Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities. The campaign kicks off in the spring and concludes with a multicultural community celebration and three-mile walk at Seward Park in June. \nAsian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities are diverse and growing\, yet many face barriers to securing food\, emergency meals\, and other basic necessities. The ACRS Food Bank ensures those experiencing food insecurity can receive culturally familiar items like rice\, tofu\, dry noodles\, and fresh produce such as bok choy. Each year\, the Food Bank distributes around one million pounds of food to around 5\,000 people\, the majority seniors and children. \nSince the first walk in 1990 by co-founders Sam Mitsui and Herb and Bertha Tsuchiya\, Walk for Rice has grown from 45 walkers to hundreds of participants each year\, raising more than $4 million to fight hunger in our region. Join the community and Walk for Rice! \nWalk for Rice Website
