Vanraure Hachinohe: Custom Team Bus Crowdfunding Initiative

Today marks the launch of a promising crowdfunding project aimed at supporting Vanraure Hachinohe, a Japanese football team, in their quest for J2 promotion. The initiative, titled "Let's Run the Vanraure Bus Together!" intends to raise funds for a specially-designed bus adorned with team branding, enhancing player motivation and ensuring a strong connection with supporters during match days.

Background of the Project

The crowdfunding project is executed by Spportunity Inc., a Tokyo-based sports crowdfunding platform dedicated to empowering teams and athletes. The aim is to prepare a dedicated bus for the top-tier team, enabling players to focus on their performances while feeling the support of fans waiting for them at the stadium.

Captain Katsumi Onishi Weighs In

He has been with Vanraure for four years and noted the growing passion from the community in Aomori and Hachinohe. This surge in enthusiasm has played a crucial role in the team's aspiration for promotion to J2.

"The support from our fans motivates us to perform at our best. This bus symbolizes our commitment, pride in Hachinohe, and embodies the dreams of our supporters. It's not just a means of transportation; it's a representation of our shared journey," Onishi emphasized.
