Eyes for Fukushima is Now Accepting T-shirt Orders

By Jason Ishida (Current Fukushima JET)

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for all the support thus far. Summer’s finally upon us, and we’re launching some new colors for this sale in the Unisex shirt and Ladies’ Cut shirt. And now that the Summer heat has rolled in, we’ve got a new ‘Dryfit’ t-shirt to keep you feeling cool and looking cool too.

Adult shirts (S-XXXL) are 2000 yen a shirt, children’s shirts are 1500 yen, and orders of 10 or more will be shipped for free within Japan. The proceeds will go to Eyes for Fukushima, and will be used for charity events that we host and also given to existing charity organisations within Fukushima Prefecture that are active in promoting recovery and restoration after the March 11th earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster.

Thanks again for the support!
