Hurricane Party for Japan



UPDATE: Hurricane Party for Japan was a HUGE success! We raised over $10,000 for the Red Cross's relief efforts in Japan. That means SXSWcares has collectively raised $35,000! In fact we raised so much money, we've increased our collective fundraising goal to $50,000. Keep the momentum going and donate at SXSWcares.org.

When the Hurricane Party team read about the natural disaster in Japan, it made us rethink the purpose and potential of SXSW. This festival is known for its parties--which we love--but SXSW is also a magnet for smart, socially conscious people who are taking on some of the biggest challenges in our society. We want to bring together the SXSW community to help the victims and families affected by this tragedy.
