Raising Funds for Japan's Relief Efforts


Hey guys,

I just wanted to go ahead and share this with all of you.

I intern at a start-up company called "Goodjoe" and we are a t-shirt and apparel company that unites artists with non-profits. The basic premise is that for every shirt sold, a dollar of it will go to community-nominated non-profit organizations.

In light of the recent events in Japan, Goodjoe's artists collaborated on a t-shirt design that represented Japanese culture. 100% of the proceeds would go directly to GlobalGiving.org's Relief fund.

If you like the design or want to help and get a shirt for your efforts, make sure to check out the shirt. It is called: Flying in Unity






Our thoughts and prayers go to those affected by the devastation in Japan.

Here is a quick description of the shirt:
On March 11, 2011, the north coast of Japan was hit by a horrible tsunami after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that occurred 80 miles offshore. Goodjoe and our passionate community of artists have collaborated to bring you the Flying in Unity t-shirt to raise funds and to inspire others to contribute in whatever way they can. Each of the participating artists created a crane or a bird as a positive thought to send toward the people affected by this disaster. Inspiration from Paper Cranes for Japan

100% of the proceeds will be donated directly to GlobalGiving.org's Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Our goal is to raise $1000 and we will report the results of our fundraising efforts at the end of this two week campaign.

Goodjoe would like to thank all the participating artists for donating their time and Boots for piecing together all the cranes and birds into a unified flock.

  2. It's good that Goodjoe the company is stepping up to help for the tsunami and earthquake, I think the public organization are really concerning the damnage of the disaster. And we should pray for them or donate money, do wtever we can to help out. :D
