WASHINGTON -- Organizers of the National Cherry Blossom Festival said they're planning a fundraising walk to show support for survivors and victims of last week's earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The Stand with Japan event is scheduled for the evening of March 24 around the Tidal Basin. The cherry blossom festival starts March 26 and runs through April 10.
Spokeswoman Danielle Piacente said organizers had received an outpouring of support for the Japanese victims and wanted to find a way to help. She said there's no fundraising target in mind, but she said that every little bit will help.
