The Friendship Blossoms— Dogwood Tree Initiative flourishes. Only one year into this initiative, we've accomplished much thanks to our many generous sponsors and partners. From UPS's expert logistical support and transport to Japan to several planting ceremonies throughout Japan to cultivating the next generation of global leaders and nature lovers, the ties between Japan and the U.S. are growing stronger one tree at a time. Thanks to you, this partnership is thriving. 

Just one year into this three-year initiative, we have already accomplished the following:
