LivingSocial Deal of the Day: They’ll Match $5 Japan Donation

Here’s a good deal: Donate $5 for Japan Relief to the U.S. Red Cross, and LivingSocial will match it (up to $1 million). If you are already registered with LivingSocial, it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

“Due to Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent after shocks, Japan is suffering from what its prime minister is calling the “worst crisis since WWII.” The country’s northern coast has been totally devastated, leaving the land and the people in ruins. Just like you, we here at LivingSocial want to lend a hand, so we are going to match your donations. For each $5 donation through this offer, we will also donate $5 to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund, for a total contribution of up to $2 million. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy, and hope that by merging our efforts with yours and working directly with the American Red Cross, we can help with immediate aid and long-term recovery plans in Japan.”
