This year marks the 55th anniversary of the birth of “Sesame Street”, and a full-scale collaboration with the Park was held for the first time. Approximately 400 guests enjoyed a full course dinner inspired by Sesame Street specially developed for the occasion, along with a full-fledged stage performance featuring popular Park characters and entertainers. The guests enjoyed a special night of fun and excitement. There was also a charity silent auction, a donation ceremony, and the presentation of letters of appreciation from the City of Osaka and the Osaka Prefectural Scholarship Foundation, as well as a message of thanks from Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura regarding our charity activities.
