I'm not gonna lie, Steelclaw. The title made me think, "Uh oh. Too soon."
But you've done a wonderful thing here. Good karma around ya, brother.

American Red Cross can and will also take monetary walk-in or mail-in donations of pretty much any amount in the forms of cash/check/pretty much anything. You should specify what it's for when you make the donation though, if you want it to go specifically to the Japanese earthquake relief. You can go to www.redcross.org and stick your zip code in the box on the right side of the page to get contact info for your local chapter.

i've donated to the American Red Cross for disaster relief many times, but never specified it that way.

Well, I actually work for the ARC, so I'm biased, and I think it goes to a good cause either way. |

But yeah, while Red Cross will always honor donor intent, they can only do that, well...if they're told what the intent is.
Just another reason why Steelclaw is a valued member of our community.
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.
Steelclaw..your compassion and heart match your clever wit. Both are enormous. Thanks for making my day, once again.
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.�
Hugs to you Steelclaw...instead of steel, you have a claw of gold.
Hmm..I wonder..if the facebook games are making contributions to the relief efforts maybe we could too.
Instead of radishes, sweet potatoes, and/or cows maybe our Devs could whomp us up something similar...a badge, or a special T-shirt for our toons, and the money raised will go to relief efforts.

So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself
You've got the power
winners are losers
who got up and gave it just one more try

Awesome list Steelclaw, as usual. Thanks a ton for this info!
Not to rain on your parade, but it'd be nice to see a non-"no kill" alternate for animals. Them being "no kill" just dumps the problem of putting down cases on non-"no kill" groups/shelters.
No, I don't have a non-"no kill" link handy.
Sorry, its a big thing for a vet former-roomate of mine and our local humane soceity who we're foster parents for kitties for.

Seems NCsoft has already stepped up to the plate... although a specific COH-related donation item would be spiffy.|
