The charity funds, equivalent to the full proceeds from goods sold during this campaign (including BE@RBRICK and original CDs), amounted to ¥35,191,783. The charity fund presentation ceremony was held on February 22nd, 2008 (Friday) at "Cafe Daisy," a Danish restaurant in Roppongi, Tokyo.
At the ceremony, Chihiro Futahashi, Senior Managing Executive Officer of Isetan and organizer, expressed gratitude for the support and cooperation for the campaign. She reported, "With the previous campaign (in 2006), we were able to plant 10,000 cypress trees." Ms. Masuko Ito, Representative Director of the Green Santa Fund, shared a message from the principal of an elementary school that received desks and chairs made from domestic timber in the previous campaign: "The students can feel the warmth of wood firsthand, fostering a sentiment of cherishing nature and objects."
