On March 15, MTV.news reported that Lady's Gaga's "We Pray for Japan" wristbands had raised $250,000 (€179,000) in the two days since they became available.
On March 13, the pop icon started selling the white-and-red wristbands on her online shop for $5 (€3.57), but you can opt to give a larger donation of up to $100 (€71.50). The bracelet features Gaga's monster-paw hand gesture and the words "We Pray for Japan."
Lady Gaga recently tweeted that she had designed the red-and-white wristband for purchase online, with all of the proceeds going to those affected by the disaster. "I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters," she wrote.
Gaga is encouraging her fans to donate to the campaign established by Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife, Wendy, via Citizen Effect, a philanthropic website that relies on social media to generate donations for various causes. The couple plans to match the first $100,000 (€71,500) donated to help the American Red Cross in its relief efforts. The campaign had raised $15,650 (€11,204) as of press time. (Relaxnews)
