Well, I have been meaning to write about this since the 1st (I guess I'm not doing too bad....) but I wanted to talk a little about the charity of the month.
This month we will be highlighting and donating 10% of our profits to the Japan Society Earthquake Relief Fund.
The Japan Society was founded in May 1907 and is a non-profit American organization that brings people of the United States and Japan closer together. The goal of the society is always the same: the "cultivation of a constructive, resonant and dynamic relationship between the people of the United States and Japan."
Now, the Japan Society, after the March 12, 2011 earthquake in Japan, has come together to aid the victims who were devastated in this disaster. So far they have committed $1,000,000.00 to four non-profit organizations in Japan. They are supporting the Tokyo Volunteer Network for Disaster Relief, the JEN, Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities, and the Japan NPO Center. All of which are in the front lines of relief and recovery in Japan right now.
As of April 6, 2011 the Japan Society has made donations that total over $3,651,321.23!!!! That is amazing and we are excited to make a donation of our own at the end of April thanks to all of you who are trying our products!
You can also keep track of the donations on your own and learn more about the Japan Society at http://www.japansociety.org/earthquake
I would also like to personally thank all of you who have emailed us and commented on our blog SUCH kind words. Those are truly words of encouragement and it keeps us inspired and moving forward. We would be absolutely nothing if you didn't appreciate us, so we will do as much as we can to appreciate you right back! :)
Sleep tight! See you Saturday!
