Shinjuku Givers Launches Crowdfunding for Olympic Gold Medal Challenge

Shinjuku Givers Begins Crowdfunding for Gold Medal Aspiration

On May 25, Shinjuku Givers, a women's 3x3 basketball team backed by Kokoro Chiropractic Group, kicks off their crowdfunding initiative titled "Taking the First Step Towards Olympic Gold!" This project will run through Spportunity, a sports-focused crowdfunding platform, eager to rally support as they gear up for their ambitious journey.

Background and Vision of the Crowdfunding Initiative

Shinjuku Givers emerged in January 2025, established by the Kokoro Chiropractic Group, which has over 100 locations across Japan. The team is dedicated to 3x3 basketball, a fast-paced version of the sport involving just three players on each team. With a match duration of only 10 minutes and a 12-second shot clock, 3x3 basketball is all about rapid decision-making, teamwork, and physical prowess. While the Japanese women's team has previously claimed silver medals, they are yet to secure a gold. Shinjuku Givers aims to change that by combining the essence of speed and strategy with Japan's meticulous attention to detail, creating a style of play that surprises the world.

Leading the charge is former Japan 3x3 U24 representative Kaneko, who will bring together a new generation of talent to face off against the globe’s best. The team will also be supported by a dedicated physical training staff from Givers, known for transforming numerous professional teams into champions through robust physical training and meticulous injury management.

As they strive for a historic first gold medal in women's 3x3 for Japan, Shinjuku Givers asks for support in creating an optimal environment to prepare their athletes for competition, which includes funding necessary for training camps and overseas expeditions.
