Chamber establishes disaster relief fund for Japan

The Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce Foundation has set-up a donation account at U.S. Bank in an effort to support the victims and relief effort underway following Japan’s deadliest earthquake & tsunami on March 11, 2011.

Anyone who wishes to make a donation can do so at any of the 3,031 U.S. Bank branches across the United States. The Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce Foundation will forward 100% of the proceeds from all donations directly to the American Red Cross.
