Let's Show Our Support NTEN
Japan faces one of its most devastating natural disasters in 100 years. On March 11th, walls of water swept across rice fields, engulfing towns, dragging houses onto highways, tossing cars and boats like toys and consuming lives. The potential human loss is unimaginable, with thousands missing and early reports of hundreds reported dead. Aftershocks and additional earthquakes continue to threaten the region, sending shock waves across the nation and the world.
We at NTEN want to show our support for Japan. We want to start with a goal of $5000. Here's how you can help:
1. DONATE - Make a donation here or text your donation to 90999
2. SHARE - On the web; On Twitter; Mention it in your SXSW talks with #sxswcares and #sxsw4japan
3. CREATE A FUNDRAISING PAGE - Start a page so your friends/family can donate to disaster relief. Read tips for it here.
NOTE: Behind the scenes, we're working with businesses attending to procure additional donations. NTC Cares corporate donors will be given complimentary sponsorships on this website. To submit a corporate donation, please connect with us here.
