New TF2 Store Items Offer Aid to Japan

[Shawn Zipay]

Valve has just released three different Mann Co. Store items for Team Fortress 2 in which all proceeds will to to the relief efforts in Japan. That's right all proceeds.

Today, we'd like to offer a chance to help out at a time when that help matters most. To support the relief efforts currently underway in Japan, we're introducing three limited edition hats and two special noisemakers to the Mann Co. store. The "Humanitarian's Hachimaki" ($7.99), the "Benefactor's Kanmuri" ($19.99) and the most prestigious "Magnanimous Monarch" ($99.99) will be available from now through April 6. All proceeds (net of applicable taxes) will go directly towards the Japanese disaster relief fund that the American Red Cross has set up. The hats can be equipped by all classes; however, they cannot be traded or used for crafting.

If you don't wish to purchase one of these items, feel free to donate directly to the Red Cross.
