Downtown Alliance Supports Financier Fundraiser to Assist Japan Relief Efforts

New York, NY (May 13, 2011) – The Alliance for Downtown New York is partnering with Financier to help raise money for Japan relief efforts through a new cookie fundraising effort. The cookies are being sold at all Financier locations for $4 each.

“When Lower Manhattan suffered one of the world’s most unimaginable tragedies nearly one decade ago, people from around the globe reached out to provide comfort and support,” said Elizabeth H. Berger, President of the Alliance for Downtown New York. “New Yorkers understand the devastating impact of recent events in Japan, and we are pleased to support Financier’s ‘Un Cookie Pour Le Japon’ initiative. Although we’re a world away, every little bit counts, and we’re honored to participate.”
