Friends of ICU Fundraising Campaign for ICU Founders' Day (June 1 to June 30, 2025)
Through large-scale fundraising activities in the U.S. and Japan, supported by both Christians and non-Christians alike, International Christian University was founded. The generous donations enabled ICU to purchase a spacious greenery land in Mitaka City, Tokyo for its campus, epitomizing many people’s strong will and wishes seeking for peace. These wishes have been passed on to the ‘Friends of ICU’ circle, which provides us with thoughtful support and cooperation.
Hoping to share the ICU spirit and values since the foundation, as well as to expand the “Friends of ICU” furthermore, we would like to hold a fundraising campaign to commemorate ICU Founder’s Day on June 15. We would be most grateful if you would join us as a Friend to support the ‘University of Tomorrow’. We deeply appreciate your assistance and understanding.
