2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund


JRQ presents: 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund

As I'm sure you are all aware, Japan was hit by a very large earthquake last Friday. Here at JRQ, we're trying to marshall together an effort to raise money and awareness for this cause.

Starting on Monday, March 14th, we'll be in the Queen's Center accepting donations. We also have large Queen's and Canadian flags to be signed with messages of hope and support.

We hope to see you there!
