All the funds raised will be donated in the name of ThoughtWorks, Inc. to the Japanese Red Cross Society for those affected by the recent Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake in Japan. We would really be grateful for any and all support that you could provide for these activities when you attend. We hope this event, in cooperation with cross-border individuals and businesses, could contribute a first step toward reconstruction after the disaster.
