Help Grace K. raise money

Dear friends and colleagues,

I’m joining the Run for ROM 5K walk to support the Bishop White Committee (BWC): Friends of East Asia, ROM’s oldest Friends group, founded in 1960. I’m honoured to serve as its Vice-Chair. BWC helps preserve and share the art and cultures of China, Korea, and Japan through conservation, research, and curatorial programs. It recently co-supported Fashionably Korea on October 4, alongside the National Museum of Korea and the Korean Consulate General.

My involvement with ROM was inspired by Dr. Chai-Shin Yu’s legacy and his dedication to sharing Korean culture. His pioneering work in establishing Korean studies at U of T and his pivotal role in creating ROM’s Korean Gallery continue to inspire my support today. Read his story at U of T.My journey with ROM began through the Currelly Legacy Society (featured in ROM’s Spring 2025 magazine) and deepened through my involvement with the BWC.

Learning how East Asian cultures have influenced one another deepens our appreciation of each culture’s unique heritage.I’m walking to connect cultures and preserve heritage for future generations. Please consider supporting my walk with a donation of any amount. Every contribution makes a difference!

With warm thanks,
