In response to the devastating earthquake and tsunami last week, TV Asahi launched a “Doraemon Charity Fund” to collect donations for the affected areas. On Friday, the network announced that it has reached more than 600 million yen in donations and will start sending money to the Iwate and Miyagi prefectures by March 22.
As of Thursday, March 17, the “Doraemon Charity Fund” had collected 600,753,674 yen (only counting donations sent by bank transfer). TV Asahi has already decided to allocate 100 million yen each to the Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures; 100 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross; and 200 million yen to the non-governmental organization Japan Platform.
The fund will continue collecting donations until April 30.
