The Thunder Bay Red Cross has received another large donation for Japan's earthquake relief.
On Friday, Gore Motors Honda teamed up with 91.5 CKPR for a fundraiser, where every $5 donation entered people in a draw to win a pair of tickets to see Elton John in Duluth, Minn.
Gore Motors and Dougall Media officials presented the Red Cross with a cheque for more than $6,000 from the 12-hour long fundraiser.
Disaster management co-ordinator Ken Widdifield said the money is not ear-marked for any specific projects, and will be used based on what the Japanese Red Cross needs.
He added that he's encouraged by the generosity the community has shown.
The winner of the Elton John tickets was Ellen Kruze.
