Tokyo Joe's Charity Fund Donates $47,000 to International Justice Mission Business Editors NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 1999--Tokyo Joe's Charity Fund, organized by Tokyo Joe's Societe Anonyme, the stock alert service at url: tokyojoe.com, has made a $47,000 donation to the International Justice Mission. James J. Bjorkman, CEO of Tokyo Joe's Societe Anonyme, recently presented the check in Arlington, Virginia to IJM President Gary Haugen. IJM, as stated on its web site at www.ijm.org, "is a Christian ministry, led by human rights professionals, that helps people suffering injustice and oppression who cannot rely on authorities for relief." It was featured on 60 Minutes II on November 23, 1999. Mr. Haugen estimated that the donation would free 500 bonded children in India. Tokyo Joe, in a letter accompanying the donation, stated: "We learned about your organization from the tv piece that aired a few weeks ago. The story affected us deeply. We were heartened that an organization such as yours is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the helpless children of India. "Our organization is a growing web-based stock alert service that currently has approximately 3500 members. They come from all walks of life and from around the world. Many of our members were also touched by the IJM story, and after we announced that the charity would donate to you, they opened their hearts. All of us are grateful for the chance to help in this way." Donations swelled after Tokyo Joe's Charity Fund announced IJM as the recipient. "We began the fund on October 23, 1999, and to collect and donate $47,000 in under two months was a tribute to our members' generosity," Mr. Bjorkman said. "People opened their hearts and made a real statement." "It is truly a wonderful thing that so many SA members took the time and effort to send in their checks of $50, $100, and more to help horribly oppressed children," Mr. Bjorkman added. Tokyo Joe's Charity Fund's goal is to help children in need. For donation instructions, e-mail bjorkman@access1.net. Tokyojoe.com is the internet's premier hot-stock alert service.
