As you know, Japan has recently been faced with catastrophic natural disasters. It is truly a terrible global situation. Given the current state of Japan, I believe this is a great opportunity to utilize our vast ASES network to fundraise money for relief efforts in Japan. I would like to announce and ask for your support in driving the first-ever ASES Fundraising Campaign. The ASES Fundraising Campaign for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Efforts will commence this coming Monday, March 28th and end a month from that date, April 29th. During this time, all chapter members, alumni, and participants are encouraged to donate funds to their Chapters. At the end of the campaign, ASES Georgetown will collect all chapters' funds to send the total amount to charitable organizations. Please see the attached ASES Fundraising Campaign for Japan Relief Efforts Information Sheet for more information! How We Can Contribute as ASES * Spread the word - During the month we conduct our campaign, please ask your members, alumni, and sponsors for their support. An ASES Fundraising Campaign information sheet is attached so that you can easily spread the word to your chapter participants. * Encourage Fundraising Campaign Participation - As Chapter Presidents, let's encourage our members to participate - whether it is by making a donation ourselves, providing small gifts to those who participate in the Campaign, or by discussing entrepreneurial responses to the Japan disaster. * Corporate Matching Programs - ASES Stanford is currently approaching its corporate sponsors to participate in a matching program, so that every dollar ASES raises will be doubled. If you believe this approach would be effective in your chapter, we encourage you to contact your local corporate sponsors. * Donations - My team is currently determining donation logistics, and will provide information on Paypal accounts and fund transfers in the next couple weeks for you. Please let me know if you have any preferences as to how your chapter sends its funds. * Provide Your Suggestions - As this is the first ASES Fundraising Campaign, this is a starting point for our fundraising efforts going forward and I welcome any ideas or suggestions you may have! To me, a very important part of entrepreneurship is working together to help those in need. It will take a long time for the nation of Japan to recover from these calamities, but I know that our combined efforts can help Japan slowly get back to its feet. We can use our skills and talents as global entrepreneurs to not only show our support for fellow ASES members in Japan, but also help those that have been affected by the tsunamis and earthquakes. Thanks so much for your collaboration, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. ASES Georgetown is happy to coordinate this Fundraising Campaign, and I am looking forward to working with you. I know that ASES can make a difference! Best regards, Michael Wong ASES Georgetown President and Founder --
