No Way Jose! Begins Tsunami Relief Campaign

March 11, 2011

A ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing hundreds of people as it swept away boats, cars and homes.

No Way José! will donate 50% of our net proceeds from the weekend, Friday through Sunday, March 11-13 to help those affected in the Asia-Pacific region as relief efforts begin to address the effects of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last night.

A ferocious 23-foot (seven-meter) tsunami, spawned by a magnitude-8.9 offshore quake, slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing hundreds of people as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control.

Even for a country used to earthquakes, this one was of horrific proportions because of the tsunami that crashed ashore, swallowing everything in its path as it surged several miles (kilometers) inland before retreating.

The apocalyptic images of surging water and uncontrolled conflagrations broadcast by Japanese TV networks resembled scenes from a Hollywood disaster movie. The tsunami roared over embankments, washing anything in its path inland before reversing directions and carrying the cars, homes and other debris out to sea.

As relief efforts begin to address the effects of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last night, No Way José! Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico will donate 50% of their net proceeds from the weekend, Friday through Sunday, March 11-13, to help those affected in the Asia-Pacific region.

This disaster is going to be a mammoth humanitarian crisis, affecting many people in many countries. No Way José! invites other Banderas Bay businesses to unite in this effort to help.

Open Tuesday - Sunday, 4 pm to 11:30 pm, No Way José! Restaurant - Bar is on the south side of downtown at 5 de Febrero #260, just over the Vallarta street bridge on your left heading south from the Malecón. Seating is limited so make your reservations today by calling (322) 223-2853 or online at NoWayJoseMx.com.
