HONG KONG, March 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- DealExtreme and the international community are ramping up efforts to provide assistance to the quake-stricken areas of northern Japan and the hardest hit prefectures. Those Japanese effected most will be seeing some relief efforts come their way by week's end, or by early next week, said Japan's Ministry of the Interior in a press release out yesterday.

In a concerted effort to assist Japan, DealExtreme would like to provide assistance to those in greatest need via the Hong Kong Red Cross following the March 11th disaster, by adding a 'virtual product' for people to purchase.

"All proceeds from this virtual product purchase will be donated for relief efforts in the towns and villages that were left in complete devastation," Danny Qiu, Marketing Director for DealExtreme said this morning. "Purchasing multiple quantities of this virtual product is encouraged because this is an important and meaningful cause, one that needs to be addressed quickly if we are to affect viable countermeasures to the disaster."

As an added incentive to contribute, DealExtreme would like to send each person that donates a high quality, 9 LED flashlight with DX logo -- see link at bottom for details. "It is DealExtreme's way of saying thank you on the behalf of those that cannot," Mr. Qiu said.

The donation total will be updated in DealExtreme's official forum, blog and Facebook page, as well as various other DX social networking channels. You can also find the latest donation amount in real-time on http://www.dealextreme.com/help-japan-donation.aspx
