thanks Yihwa for replaying.  My friends posted this event on places such as evite and facebook and got a lot of responses. I only saw few of them here. I guess I didn't do a good job here to get people's attention. Please feel free to pass the information around. Enjoy your busy weekend!

Derek, you can donate directly through  Mercy corps, I found they are more reliable and they have a branch in China.
I talked to them few times since I wanted to make sure the money go to the right place, you can donate online through their website at
http://www.mercycorps....

you will get a receipt to claim your Tax deduction after from them
