Japan Aid of Santa Fe Fund

With the help of so many people, Santa Fe JIN's Japan Aid of Santa Fe division has raised $35,000 in support of disaster relief in Japan.  Thank you so much to the people of Santa Fe and New Mexico.  Special gratitude goes to AKKA Karate, Smokin' Bachi, Shohko Cafe and Cowgirl's Hall of Fame restaurant, which held fundraising events or organized collections from membership.  This money was designated for the Japanese Red Cross.

Effective May 16, 2011, we will be shifting our focus to local community projects to directly assist the people in Northeastern Japan.  The need there is ongoing as the people of the Touhoku region work to rebuild their lives.  We will be holding events to raise donations for various specific projects.  Please check back here for announcements as our plans are developed.

If any organizations or groups would like to join us in our fundraising efforts, please contact us.
