Nichi Bei Foundation Day with the Oakland AthleticsAs you might know, the Nichi Bei Times went out of business last year after sixty years of publishing.

- Please join us in celebrating the reuniting of partners, family and kids that have enjoyed the Nichi Bei Times for many, many years.
- On the launch of the new Nichi Bei Foundation — publishers of the first nonprofit ethnic newspaper of its kind in the country, the Nichi Bei Weekly — we are raising much-needed funds in order to keep the Japanese American community connected, informed and empowered.
