Support Japanese Earthquake Relief
March 25, 2010 - We have all witnessed the devastation of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on March 11. The magnitude of the disaster seems to grow each day, with almost 30,000 people reported dead or missing and over 550,000 displaced from their homes.
The Red Cross of Canada has a variety of methods available for people to donate and support earthquake relief. More details can be found on the Canadian Red Cross' own website.
The world baton twirling community has also come together with a variety of fundraising efforts - all geared toward raising funds that will specifically be used to help our twirling friends in need.
The CBTF has partnered with the USTA with a wristband fundraiser. The wristbands are being distributed to the provinces so they can be used to raise funds for earthquake & tsunami relief for the Japanese baton twirling community.
In addition, the CBTF has partnered with the German Twirling Association (DTSV), member country of the WBTF to produce a set of 'Twirling For Japan' shirts and other merchandise - all proceeds will be directed toward earthquake & tsunami relief for the Japanese baton twirling community.
