We would like to thank everyone involved at the Japan Relief Fundraiser held at the Malibu Lumber Yard on Saturday for their support, it was an amazing day filled with fun, music and charity!

This past Saturday a group of Malibu’s finest young musicians came together Saturday at the Malibu Lumber Yard for a fundraiser concert called "From Our Ocean to Theirs."

The Malibu Lumber Yard shops Tory Burch, Alice + Olivia,ChocolateBox Cafe, Intermix, Kitson Kids, La Perla and Maxfield donated a portion of the day’s sales to the Japan earthquake and tsunami relief effort by Real Medicine Foundation.

The youngest performer was 10-year-old Benjamin Krasner, and was accompanied by Maggie Valdman as the Malibu saxophonist Kenny G flipped the music pages.

Also playing was keyboardist and Malibu High School alumnus Forrest Leichtberg. The rest of the days performances included a variety of bands such as First Impressions, Bromley, Static Euphony, Aestus, the Malibu High teacher/student band, Max G, Jordan Seah, the James Burnett Band Ren Martinez and Sophie Galate.

At total of $3,033 in cash and online donations was raised yesterday and that combined with the store donations will make for a very successful afternoon of fun, music and charity.

Thank you again everyone for all of the assistance with the event.

Enclosed are more photos from the event.
