Benefit Program
Across Generations
The Benefit program will pay tribute to the Japanese American National Museum’s leaders and supporters—new and established—who see and believe in the importance of the Museum and its enduring role in our democratic society. Our vision and commitment have remained unwavering since our founding, and each new generation inspires us further to demonstrate our ongoing relevance in today’s world. As part of the program, the Benefit will spotlight the stories of supporters transcending several generations and hailing from across the nation.
We are hopeful for the future as new generations engage with the Museum to continue the vision toward a better world.
