Words From Our Founder
"TIFC was founded with a simple yet purposeful vision. As a returnee, I understand the value of a welcoming environment unconstrained by language boundaries. For me, sport has always been a conduit for unity.
Since its inception, we've grown well beyond our expectations. I take pride in our impact thus far, and look forward to fostering connections - especially with those who might otherwise feel far from home."
- Shunsei Hirabayashi
