The Japan Charity Bundle update was a bundle of cosmetics and noise makers introduced in the March 23, 2011 Patch. It introduced three cosmetics and two noise makers in the Mann Co. Store, which could be bought until April 7th. The associated bundle included two of said cosmetics, the Humanitarian's Hachimaki and the Benefactor's Kanmuri, while the Magnanimous Monarch had to be be purchased separately. The proceeds from item sales directly funded the Template:W relief operations in Japan following the Template:W. By March 29th, the charity had raised over $300,000, and the final tally on April 8th was $430,543.65.
