Lady Gaga Donates $750K To Zynga?s Japan Earthquake Relief Campaign

As we wrote a few weeks ago, Zynga launched a campaign with Save The Children to raise money via in-game donations in Zynga games like FrontierVille, FarmVille and CityVille for the relief efforts in Japan following the massive earthquake and tsunami a few weeks ago. Today, the social gaming giant is announcing that Lady Gaga has donated $750,000, through the sales of her Japan Prayer Bracelets, to Zynga?s fundraising initiative. She is also donating another $750,000 to the American Red Cross to support relief efforts in Japan. And in the past two weeks, Zynga players alone have raised more than $2.5 million for Save the Children?s Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund and other causes. In a release issued by the pop singer and Zynga, Gaga said ?I?m inspired that my little monsters banded together to help those affected by the terrible tragedy...What Zynga?s players have done for the cause is equally inspiring, and I?m thrilled to partner with them to raise money that will go to Save the Children and the American Red Cross.?
