Yoshiki attends 2012 Points of Light Tribute Awards in Washington
WASHINGTON —
International musician/producer and X Japan leader Yoshiki attended The 2012 Points of Light Tribute Awards “Changing Lives Through Service” held at the residence of the ambassador of Japan in Washington last Friday. Points of Light is a charity nonprofit inspired by former President George H.W. Bush, and is the world’s leading volunteer service organization.
A tribute was made to those whose extraordinary contribution to volunteerism and service had made the world a better place. Yoshiki and 250 some guests in the audience included former Vice President Dan Quayle, Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, NBA Legend Dikembe Mutombo, and many others.
Yoshiki put his own favorite “crystal” piano up for auction in 2011, to help provide aid for the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, as well as collecting donations through the Yoshiki Foundation America ($201,072 to date). He was invited to the event for his efforts to raise funds for the victims and for using his voice to spread awareness for the March 11 disaster.
During the reception, Yoshiki’s music from his classical album “Eternal Melody II” was played.
Coinciding with the Award Ceremony, Points of Light is hosting a charity auction. Among the many items being offered, Yoshiki Foundation America is offering a “Private Dinner with Yoshiki in Tokyo or Los Angeles”. Bidding for the private dinner is currently at $10,100. The online auction will close at 10 p.m. on Friday, Sept 21.
