100% of the net proceeds benefit children affected by the earthquake & tsunami in Japan during March of this year. It will provide child care services and financial support to children at risk of not continuing their studies, psychological support as well as play zones for those who cannot play outside due to radiation fears.
The challenge I accepted was to raise $500.00 for this effort. 50 people who can raise the five-hundred dollars wins tickets, but that isn't really my goal, I just want to help the children of Japan see a brighter future.
