Simple Plan Designs T-Shirt to Raise Money for Japan

Pamela Littky for AOL Montreal's Simple Plan have joined Lady Gaga in the fundraising effort for Japan through band merch by designing a special edition t-shirt.

"It absolutely breaks our hearts to watch the horrible images and videos of the devastation that has hit Japan following the March 11th earthquake and tsunami," the band wrote on their website. "We had the privilege to visit Japan many times over the last 10 years and It's one of the most amazing place in the world. To see such destruction has deeply affected everyone in the band."

Inspired by the Japanese national flag, fans can own the white tee that simply displays the band's name, the red sun-disc and Twitter hashtag "#helpjapan." The shirt costs $20 but all proceeds will go to the Red Cross Japan Relief Effort. The Simple Plan Foundation, which the band started in 2005, will also be donating $10,000 to the Canadian Red Cross.
