Technologic Arts Inc.

We are holding a charity event, titled "Agile Charity Event in Osaka", on April 29th as part of our reconstruction support activities for the Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. This event has been planned in response to the proposal by one of our business partners, ThoughtWorks, Inc., where Martin Fowler works for, and with the great cooperation of Japan eXtreme Programming User's Group Kansai Office (XPJUG-Kansai).


On the day, we are planning to hold a fund-raising activity and a collection box will be set up on site for your donations. Additionally, some items will be sold as charity goods by advance reservation only. All the funds raised by the activity will be donated in the name of ThoughtWorks, Inc. to the Japanese Red Cross Society for those affected by the recent Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake in Japan. We would really be grateful if you could support us for these activities when you attend.

We hope this event, in cooperation with cross-border individuals and businesses, could be contributory to making the first step toward reconstruction after the disaster.
