U.S. toymaker donates $1 mil., Hello Kitty dolls to relief effort
TOKYO, Japan - Ty Warner (R), president and chief executive officer of U.S. toymaker Ty Inc., presents a certificate pledging to donate $1 million and the earnings from worldwide sales of a special Hello Kitty doll to help people affected by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Warner made the pledge to Japanese Red Cross Society President Tadateru Konoe at the headquarters of the society in Tokyo's Minato Ward on Sept. 16, 2011. In early September, the toy maker donated ''I Love Japan'' Hello Kitty nurse dolls to children in Ishinomaki Red Cross Hospital in Miyagi Prefecture, which was ravaged by the disaster. The stuffed animal has been sold worldwide since May to raise funds to help relief effort. (Kyodo)
