T Point Japan Co., Ltd. has been running a project since 2011 to support children and community spaces in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, called "Present your T-CARD to bring smiles to children in the affected areas."As part of this initiative, we will be launching a "Let's Host an Event" project from May 27, 2013 to December 31, 2013, in which T Members will donate points and T Point Japan will match donations.

Through its support project for areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, T Point Japan built children's centers in Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture and Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture in fiscal 2011, and a "Children's Home for All" in Higashimatsushima City, Miyagi Prefecture in fiscal 2012.

The newly launched "Let's Host an Event" project is a matching donation project between T members and T-POINT to revitalize the three facilities that have been built so far as community spaces for the local area, and to support the holding of events that will delight children and local residents.

T members can use the T-POINT they have accumulated to cover the costs of holding events at the children's center and "Kodomo no Minna no Ie" (Home for All Children). Special pageYou can donate more. T Point Japan will support the event by matching the amount of points donated by customers.

The first event will be held at the Kamaishi City Toni Children's Center, which was built in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, from late July to early August. This will be the Mobile Zoo, which was well received by children and local residents following last year's event. This year, we plan to hold one event at each of the three facilities, for a total of three events throughout the year.

T Point Japan will continue to strive to be "everyone's points, connecting people and society, for the people," and will continue to provide support by connecting the network of 100 T Point Alliance companies with the network of 45.04 million (active unique number) customers who use T-CARD every day.
