Honoring Legacy

Philadelphia Rotary has received some heart-warming messages we want to share with you. After seeing thank you letters from the recipients of the Kaji Scholarships, the children of Akira and Hideko Kaji sent the following to Joe Batory:

Son Ken Kaji, wrote: "I felt a sense of pride when I read the article about the 2023 scholarship awards in the Philadelphia Rotary newsletter. My parents (Hideko and Akira) lived for their research efforts. And so, it is fitting that their societal contributions were cemented by scholarships in their name for two worthy young people."

And their daughter Amy added: "Thank you so much for sending this along to us. This is a tremendous honor to have a Rotary Foundation Scholarship Award in honor of my parents. We are all touched and extremely grateful to you and all of the Philadelphia Rotarians."
