Stefani will join the growing number of celebrities around the world are doing what they can to help those in need after the earthquake and tsunami wiped out by all the towns and villages in northern Japan early this month. These celebs are Sandra Bullock (who donated $ 1,000,000 to the Red Cross), Lady Gaga, and even Charlie Sheen. In addition to her generous donations, Stefani is also the shirt that her band, No Doubt, will sell on its website – and the proceeds from the sale will also go to relief efforts in Japan.
In a press release on the No Doubt website Stefani encourages others to donate what they can to the relief effort, and says:
“I was inspired by Japan for many years and has a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese and their culture. The accident in Japan is out of the heart and I want to do everything I can to help. I will never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans for all these years.”
