Mayor Phil Gordon, Councilman Bill Gates and the Phoenix Sister Cities Himeji Committee announce a Japan Aid Fund that will benefit relief efforts for the recent disasters in Japan.
Although residents in Himeji, Japan were not greatly impacted by the devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake or tsunami on March 11, the Sister Cities Himeji Committee will collect donations in the name of the City of Himeji that will go directly to the Salvation Army-Japan and Red Cross-Japan.
Monetary donations will be accepted by Phoenix Sister Cities at phoenixsistercities.org or by mailing a check to Phoenix Sister Cities, Himeji Committee Relief Fund, Historic City Hall, 17 S. Second Ave., fourth floor, Phoenix, AZ 85003 or call 602-534-3751.
Himeji is the second city to be formally recognized as a Phoenix Sister City in 1976. The city is located along the Seto Inland Sea, about 40 miles west of Kobe, which is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture. The Phoenix Sister City Himeji Committee encourages community members and promotes the Sister City relationship and the Japanese culture through a variety of exchange and programs with the City of Himeji.
