The Stay Strong Project (SSP) was created to raise money for the victims of the Tohoku-Kanto earthquake and tsunami.
From the outset of the project, we met many people who shared their compassion for the victims and this raised our motivation to help.

The project ran for 6 months and our Genki Buttons were located at various events and shop in Japan, NYC, and London.

Today, we'd like to announce the fundraising total!

Period：March 29th - September 30th, 2011


Total：1,023,058 JP Yen


We have sent the donations directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

We appreciate the kind cooperation of each one of you who supported our cause and picked up a Genki Botton.

It was our great pleasure to share the project with people around the world.
