Relief Efforts in Japan

As the effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan continue to broaden in scope, the need for relief effort funding remains critical. On Friday, March 18th, Small Dog Electronics, the Mall of New Hampshire, and 95.7 WZID partnered in a “Drive Up & Drop Off” fundraising event in Manchester, NH, which brought in $4,061 to be donated to the American Red Cross’ relief efforts for Japan. The first 150 donors who contributed $5 or more received a $5 Small Dog Electronics gift card. The event was a great success, and the generosity of the community was inspiring.

There are still a number of ways to lend your support to this important cause. You can donate directly to the American Red Cross on their website. You can also help by purchasing Songs for Japan in the iTunes Store. Priced at just $9.99, the chart-topping album features 38 tracks from some of music’s biggest names. All proceeds from Songs for Japan will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross.
