The National Asian Pacific Islander Leadership Network (APILN) hosted a virtual birthday remembrance to honor Fred Hoshiyama. Y leaders from the past and the present reflected on Fred's legacy and impact.

Fred Hoshiyama lived his entire life in association with the YMCA. He served as the Boys' Work secretary at the San Francisco (Calif.) Japanese YMCA Branch. In 1942, he was interred at the Government Internment Camp in Utah, where he helped to create YMCA-based programs to help address the social, educational, and recreational needs of the Japanese-Americans help in the camp. Fred continued his service to the Y- his entire life and left a longstanding legacy for what community leadership looks like.
