In light of the recent tragic events that took place in Japan, Karmaloop has jumped at the opportunity to help in the best way they possibly can. They have t-shirts available on Karmaloop (KLP – The Rising Sun Tee), as well as on PLNDR (Adapt – Japan Relief Tee), in which all proceeds will go to Red Cross to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. So if you’d like to help out, and get a nice shirt in the process, this is the perfect opportunity to help those in need.

There is also a box on the check out page in which you can donate any amount of extra money to aid in the relief of Japan. Every donation helps!
