Earthquake, Tsunami & Nuclear Crisis in Japan

CERF+ has compiled the following information about providing assistance in the wake of the disaster in Japan. As this list is not complete, please contact Cornelia Carey if you know of other events or organizations active in responding.

Fundraising Events
Mashiko Pottery Fund
Ken Matsuzaki, a renowned potter from Mashiko, is working with the Mayor of Mashiko and Massachusetts-based Mudflat Studio to set up a foundation to help potters affected by the disaster.  For more information, visit http://potters.blogspot.com/

The kaleidoscope community has many artist, retailer and collector friends in Japan.  Many were affected by the tragedies there as, we understand, was the kaleidoscope museum in Sendai.  In order to lend support, the kaleidoscope community is launching a Relief Fund Auction planned to take place at the Brewster Kaleidoscope Convention in Cincinnati from May 12 – May 15.  Individuals are being asked for donations of kaleidoscopes as well as monetary contributions. To make a donation or place a bid, please contact: Bob Sabath at 262-552-7180 or rsabath@sabathsupplychain.com.

    Coach has been a world-renowned brand that has garnered the reputation of manufacturing highly fashionable handbags. The coach outlet collection does not just center on handbags but also offers backpacks for that overnight camping trip you annually have with your friends. Just because it is a camping trip it doesn’t mean to say that you can no longer squeeze some sophistication and a hint of elegance into it, right? They also offer shoulder bags for that girly feel. If you try to look at their online catalogs you will see that a wide array of cross body bags are also included and all these bags no matter what the form are designed uniquely while still maintaining the sophistication that coach outlet online has been known for.
