We cannot thank you enough for your tremendous outpouring of donations to the American Red Cross, as well as our 2011 Japan Earthquake Relief Fund.
Our message to the public has been carried by CNN, CNN en Español, MSNBC, NPR, KPCC, KCRW, Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, The Rafu Shimpo, The Nikkan Sun, and hundreds of news websites worldwide.
In addition, we are working closely with the Washington, D.C. based National Association of Japan-America Societies, which serves as a network among the 37 Japan America societies in North America, to coordinate relief efforts with our 24 counterpart America-Japan societies in Japan.
We are hopeful that the broad media attention to disaster relief efforts, and work with societies on both sides of the Pacific will result in an even larger response to assist in the relief and recovery for our friends and loved ones who have been affected by the terrible disaster.
Below is a list of special “drive-through” disaster relief fundraisers on Monday and Tuesday. They are sponsored by the American Red Cross and the local ABC and NBC television networks, and supported by the Japan America Society of Southern California. We encourage you to participate and ask that you also share these additional relief fundraising opportunities with your family and friends.
Please help us to further our relief efforts by spreading the word. Kindly forward this message to your circle of contacts and organizations so they may have easy link access to donations and information.
Once again, our prayers and thoughts are with everyone living in Japan and with loved ones here in the U.S.
