Dear friends,
Thanks to your support, "RagTag by Tao Okamoto and fashion friends for Save Japan" was a huge success. We collected more than 700 items from more than 70 people and raised $13,489.47 for Japan (in 6 hours!) despite the fact that it was in a holiday weekend. We don't know how to thank you for all the help you provided us with by giving us goods to sell, spreading the word, volunteering, shopping, making financial contributions etc. While the money we raised will be a drop in the bucket, we think we accomplished what we started out for, raising awareness and host a charity event that is fun for everybody. We also would like to thank SATURDAY SURF for giving us the space, promoting the event and being so supportive throughout the whole thing.
Again, thank every one of you for your continuous support.

5月29日、モデルのTaoちゃんを発起人にスタートしたチャリティ・フリーマーケットが無事に終了しました。たった5人のメンバーに、多くの人が参加してくれたおかげで、来場者にも喜んでもらえるよいイベントになったと思います。モデル、スタイリスト、エディターなど、ニューヨークのファッション業界人を中心に約70人から集まった商品点数はおよそ700点。12時から6時までの間で来場者はおよそ400人。売上　$13,489.47。セールの売上は、ピースウィンズ・ジャパンに寄付させていただきます。
