Let’s Celebrate Aozora!
Join us for the 2026 Hoshizora Gala—Aozora Community’s most magical night of the year. This special evening brings together families, alumni, educators, and friends to celebrate the heart of Aozora and to ensure our vibrant, bilingual community continues to thrive for years to come. Funds raised at the 2026 Gala will directly support Aozora’s programs, teachers, and students—strengthening the daily learning experiences that make our school so special.
Aozora Community Foundation is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit in Brooklyn dedicated to nurturing curious, compassionate, and globally minded children through Japanese-English bilingual education. From preschool and academy programs to camps, cultural workshops, and community events, Aozora is more than a school—it is a home for families connected by language, culture, and shared values.
Your support of the 2026 Hoshizora Gala is an investment in our teachers, our children, and the future of this extraordinary community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you under the stars.
