WSU's Japan Club hosted the Lunch Bento Box event on April 20, 2016. Since it was a huge success, the club decided to donate some of the money raised to support people and areas affected by the Kumamoto earthquake.
A donation of ¥ 15,000 ($150) was made to the Emergency Fund Raising for the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes (Kyushu region, Japan).
The donations will be used for relief funds, as well as for disaster recovery activities and various support activities.
