The Japanese Red Cross Society is doing a cool promotional, for blood donations, in the Ibaraki prefecture. While supplies last the anime Girls und Panzer is collaborating with the Red Cross to help promote blood donations from teens and individuals in their 20’s. Donors will receive a special Girls und Panzer souvenir card after they have donated. The other cool factoid is that the story of Girls und Panzer is set in the town Oarai, which is in the Ibaraki prefecture. It would be cool if something like this could be done with the North American Red Cross and superheroes.
Charity Book on Kindle
If any of your patrons still want to give to the Japanese Society after the earthquake you might want to tell them about this possibility. The Amazon Kindle Store has an 84 page charity book featuring Gurren Lagann entitled “Believe in Yourself”. It sells for $9.99 and the proceeds will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society to assist in the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for this information.
