In an effort to raise money for the victims of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, many sushi restaurants throughout Seattle have donation boxes or host relief effort events. At the restaurant where Ms. Meyer held her concert, there were several ways they tried to raise money for Japan. In addition to her concert, prior to the event, T-shirts were for sale and the proceeds were donated to charities for Japan. Also, the restaurant pledged to donate 10% of their profits to Japan.
Ms. Meyer held one concert on Friday and two on Saturday. In addition to the money earned from the concert, she donated a portion of her CD sales to the relief effort.
