On March 11, a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean near the coast of Honshu, Japan, resulting in a subsequent tsunami and overall tremendous damage to this northeast area of the country. With the country still in crisis – trying to stabilize a reactor in a nuclear plant rocked by the quake and searching for thousands missing, all in the midst of powerful aftershocks continuing to hit the region – many around the world are trying to help those affected by this disaster in any way they can – including by purchasing promotional products.
Lady Gaga designed a bracelet with the words “We Pray For Japan” printed in both English and Japanese. Priced at $5 each, all proceeds will go directly to donated to Japan relief efforts.
Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park is also designing promotional merchandise with proceeds to be donated to relief funds. Music for Relief, a network of artists and music fans devoted to relief efforts, has partnered with Shinoda to produce the t shirts for this cause. He is currently asking for votes online to decide on the design and you can weigh in here.
You can also choose to donate funds directly to organizations like the American Red Cross.
