Limited time charity event equals big win for Red Cross

Valve has posted a heartfelt thank you to its Team Fortress 2 community for helping it studio raise in excess of $300K in support of relief efforts in Japan through the purchases of TF2 special edition Japanese headwear.

Last week, Valve released three limited-run Japanese headgear items in its Mann Co. store, promising to donate all proceeds (minus tax) to the American Red Cross Japanese relief fund. They include the "Benefactor's Kanmuri," the "Humanitarian's Hachimaki," and the "Magnanimous Monarch." Yesterday, Valve revealed the charity promotion has been a resounding success, writing:
