Dalton Financial Holds Charity Event in Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan, December 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The adopted charity for Dalton Financial’s office in Tokyo, Japan, Shine On! Kids Foundation is a long established local children’s charity, with a mission to identify underprivileged children in Tokyo and the rest of Japan, to help change their lives for the better through development, education, participation and protection programs.
Whilst at the event, a number of Dalton Financial’s staff attended a function arranged by the charity, named Skating Fun Day. Shine On! Kids Foundation, along with a number of volunteers, took a group of underprivileged children to spend the day skating around local parklands, enjoying the weather, and generally having a great time.

As well as activities for the children there was a charity auction, where all the auction lots were donated by the public and affiliates of the charity, with Dalton’s contribution an all-expenses paid weekend at The Peninsula Tokyo. The package included 3-nights in a Deluxe Suite, evening meals at any one of the hotel’s seven acclaimed restaurants, and a chauffeur service. The auction was won by Daniel Weatherly, whose winning bid of JPY 1,152,600 (US$9,535), will be put towards the charity’s day-to-day operations, as well as future events for the benefit of the children.
During the visit to the Shine On! Kids Foundation, Dalton Financial’s team of volunteers presented the charity with a cheque for US$25,000, which was contributed by the firm’s clients, board members, and employees alike.
Andrew Golding, Senior Portfolio Manager at Dalton Financial, said, “Since we adopted Shine On! Kids Foundation as our official charity, our corporate social responsibility efforts have extended beyond just a monetary donation. Our volunteers engage in regular dialogue with the centre’s management team to find out how we can further contribute towards supporting its projects to benefit the children. The charity event, donation drive and activities with the children were planned with their needs in mind. By being alert and adaptable to the needs of the Shine On! Kids, our colleagues have demonstrated the ‘can do’ attitude that is at the heart of the Dalton Financial culture.”
The management team for the charity added, "Shine On! Kids Foundation extends our heartfelt appreciation for the generosity of Dalton Financial. This is the beginning of our partnership and we look forward to deepening our relationship in the future for the benefit of our children at the centre."
