HEAL JAPAN:
In March 2011 - Japan experienced a major earthquake which generated a devastating tsunami. As a result, many of the northern cities of Japan were devoured by the sea and tens of thousands of people were killed and/or still missing.
On April 3, 2011, Tiara was moved to create a design to share with her FB friends/family. The intention was to share the simple fact that our thoughts have power - therefore together we can help to TRANSFORM and HEAL Japan. By the next day, that design evolved into a t-shirt. By May 6, 2011, we were able to distribute over 360 tees and raise close to $5,000! After paying out our tee vendor - our GRAND TOTAL to donate was $4,176!!!
LED was supported by many different companies and friends who helped to make the tee sales such a huge success. LED partnered with, Japan-America Society of Hawaii (JASH) to ensure that ALL profits from the tee sales would go directly to Japan, to help our brothers & sisters across the Pacific Ocean.
We know the money raised will TRANSFORM and enable Japan to grow and flourish.
