Join Toyota of Wallingford in Donating to American Red Cross Japan Relief

As the death toll continues to rise from the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and new trouble arises daily with the damaged nuclear reactors, it's easy as distant onlookers for us to feel overwhelmed and helpless.
The numbers are already staggering: An estimated 500,000 people are still living in shelters, having lost their homes when the earth trembled and the sea rushed in. Others were forced to flee because of radiation levels. Still others were even less fortunate: The number of dead has already topped 11,000.
Japan needs our help, just as they offered us their assistance after Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina; for instance, the Japanese people contributed $30 million for our disaster relief efforts.
Now we can return the favor, as many of you may have already have done.
To do our part Toyota of Wallingford is donating $5,000 to the American Red Cross. In addition to the $5,000 Toyota of Wallingford will donate $5.00 for every new fan that "likes" our Facebook Page in the month of April. So please help a great cause and spread the word and for friends and family to "like" our Facebook page and help us reach our goal of $10,000 by totaling 1331 fans April 30th, 2011.
