PayPal And eBay Users Raise $1M Towards Japan Earthquake And Tsunami Relief
Similar to the relief efforts surrounding the Haiti earthquake last year, technology companies are actively encouraging their users to donate to campaigns coordinating relief efforts in Japan, which suffered a massive earthquake and tsunami a little over a week ago. As we learned this past week, Zynga's gamers have raised over $1 million, and Facebook app Causes has from tens of thousands of donors to the Japan relief effort. And today, PayPal and parent company eBay are announcing $1 million raised by users towards the the Japan earthquake and tsunami relief campaigns. PayPal users have donated $793,000 via the payments giant's web campaign, here. Users can donate funds towards the American Red Cross, GlobalGiving, HandsOn Tokyo and a number of other organizations helping with the relief efforts in the country.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Nt5ijSkjCkA/
