Gift of Hope Card Sets

The gift that keeps on giving - a tote bag and card set for you and the gift of love and support* to the children/youth in Japan. These special cards are a message of hope and thanks to the people from all over the world who came to their aid.

Calligraphy cards were created by a student that either lost their home, a member of their family or both due to the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011.  The student is receiving a scholarship to continue their education through the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund (NJERF).

Crayons for Japan - Through art, the children affected by the earthquake and tsunami that hit the Tohoku region of Japan learn to express their feelings again.  This project is called Crayons For Japan and is funded through the Kristi Yamaguchi Always Dream Foundation through the NJERF and JCCCNC.

Price:  $35.00 Card Set with Tote Bag / $18.00 Card Set Only (12 cards w/ envelopes)

*100% of the proceeds will continue to support ongoing relief efforts in Japan.
