Dear Friends of F+W Media,

Just one month ago none of us could have envisioned the tragedy, horror, and devastation now impacting the people of Japan. Watching the frightening images from half a world away left us feeling powerless to help, but compelled to action.

Much like in your own community, school, or place of work, the employees at F+W Media, parent company of  Metal Roofing Magazine, Frame Building News and Rural Builder, wanted to do something - anything - to help. While the people of Japan are relocated to temporary housing, as supplying food and potable water becomes critical, the need for support in the coming weeks is even greater.

Wednesday March 30th we will join with the American Red Cross to lend our support. And, we hope you will too.

F+W Media will donate 50% of all profits received Wednesday from the sale of products and services via all of our 24 eCommerce stores. By choosing to make a purchase on this day, you will directly contribute to the ongoing efforts to provide medical care and relief assistance to the people of Japan.

Whether you're a writer, artist, graphic designer, genealogist, or outdoors enthusiast, we are all part of the global community and every one of us can help.

I want to take this moment to thank you, too, for your support of F+W Media. We strive daily to ensure we are providing you with the quality content, creative inspiration, and community engagement you seek.

Thank you,
David Nussbaum, Chairman & CEO
F+W Media, Inc.
