Wecolla's first Annual Fall Health & Culture Festival will take place on Sunday, October 15, 2023 in Palo Alto, CA. The theme is community health and cultural celebration, and we are looking to raise $5,000.

Let us briefly self-introduce Wecolla (Womxn's Collaborative). Over the last 12 years, Wecolla has supported more than 2,000 Japanese-speaking individuals and families in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond by providing health education and support services. This year, we became a non-profit organization in California as a growing number of professionals in healthcare and other fields have joined us to collaborate to achieve better community health. We are looking forward to continuing to provide high quality health education and support services. 

Our fall festival aims to bring our community together and enhance community ties and our support for each other.  We hope that we can count on your support to make our event a great success!

In appreciation of your donation, we would like to offer you the opportunity to present/publicize your business and services at our event and on our website & social media. Donation receipts are available for tax deduction. 

Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to seeing you at the Fall Festival!
