DESCRIPTION:<strong>Opening Reception: Saturday\, March 19\, 6:30 - 10:00 p
 .m.</strong>\n\nThe U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) is raising funds to help ch
 ildren in Japan impacted by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. This is a
 n unusual decision\, as Japan is a donor to UNICEF\, not a recipient of it
 s assistance. However\, due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disast
 er and its impact on children\, resources are going to be critical in help
 ing provide for the very unique needs of children. These may include healt
 h\, development\, and protection and other needs that may have been compro
 mised or disrupted in the wake of the catastrophe.\n\nGiant Robot is proud
  to join the effort\, and have asked many of our talented friends to creat
 e water-themed art to raise funds to support the efforts of UNICEF.&nbsp\;
 \n\nIn addition to raising money by selling artwork\, Giant Robot will be 
 donating the following to UNICEF:\n\n1. Proceeds from the sale of water bo
 ttles featuring labels created by artists and signed by celebrities.\n\n2.
  Fifty percent of proceeds from Giant Robot&rsquo\;s small restaurant\, gr
 /eats\, on Saturday\, March 19.\n\n3. A percentage of all sales at Giant R
 obot\, GR2\, and GRSF during the weekend of March 18-20.\n\n4. Raffles for
  donated merchandise including designer- and artist-signed items\, GR gear
 \, horseback rides\, and other items.&nbsp\;\n\n5. Cash donations accepted
  for UNICEF.\n\nContributors include the following:\n\nAndrice Arp &bull\;

 s through Giant Robot.&nbsp\;\n\nGiant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-bas
 ed magazine about Asian\, Asian-American\, and new hybrid culture in 1994\
 , but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and 
 galleries in Los Angeles and San Francisco\, as well as an online equivale
