Uniting for Volleyball: Hokkaido Yellow Stars' New Crowdfunding Initiative

The Hokkaido Yellow Stars are gearing up for an exciting season ahead as they prepare to launch a crowdfunding campaign titled "Towards the Best Moment: Uniting the Court and the Audience." This initiative, organized in collaboration with Spportunity, a sports-focused crowdfunding company based in Tokyo, aims to energize both the team and their passionate fanbase ahead of their preseason matches scheduled for late September.

Overview of the Crowdfunding Project

As the V League season approaches, starting from October 25, the Yellow Stars plan to host a preseason match against the VC Nagano Tridents on September 27 and 28. This match carries immense significance for the team, especially since they have secured an SV license but will not participate in the upcoming SV League season. This game is more than just a matchup; it represents their commitment to showcasing their ambitions from Hokkaido to the pinnacle of Japan's volleyball scene.

The selected venue for this monumental event is the larger-than-life Hokai Kitaeru, marking an ambitious choice for a memorable competition. The challenge is not limited to the team alone; it extends to demonstrating the untapped potential of volleyball in Hokkaido on a national stage. The Yellow Stars wish to create this moment not in isolation but together with their loyal supporters and the entire volleyball community, along with those who are yet to join in.

Our Core Belief

Central to Hokkaido Yellow Stars' mission is a steadfast belief etched in the team’s foundation: "The value of sports lies in players risking their lives for peak performances, which in turn inspire others." However, they aim to take this vision further, fostering a cycle of passion and motivation between players and fans. This powerful exchange of energy creates an influence that transforms simple moments into unforgettable experiences.

Setting the Stage for Challenge

To bring this ideal to fruition, the Yellow Stars are embarking on this groundbreaking challenge to face a formidable SV League team in their upcoming preseason match. Their goal is to share this historic moment with as many supporters as possible, leading to the decision to hold the match at the expansive Hokai Kitaeru.

Why Volleyball?

Volleyball has a unique ability to bridge the gap between players and fans. The sound of a spike hitting the floor, the players' breath, and the electrifying silence before a serve all engage the senses directly. This profound connection culminates in an exhilarating atmosphere that the Yellow Stars have decided to encapsulate in their season's theme: "Pushin' It!" in Hokkaido dialect, embracing passion, support, and camaraderie that enriches lives.

Allocation of Funds

To realize this ambitious project, the Yellow Stars will carry out a crowdfunding campaign. The support gathered will primarily be used for three purposes:
1. Venue Cost - To host this exceptional match at Hokai Kitaeru, funding will be allocated to cover the venue expenses.
2. YouTube Streaming Costs - To ensure fans who cannot attend in person can experience the match, streaming fees for both preseason and some home games will be covered by this funding.
3. Production Costs - Enhancements in sound and lighting to create a cohesive atmosphere within the venue will be supported through the funds, as they collectively aim to construct the ultimate match experience.

The Value of Your Support

This challenge highlights the extraordinary value derived from the process of creation itself. Together, the fans and the team will co-create the stage, infuse passion into the game, and witness the ultimate moments. Each step along this journey adds a layer of depth to the experience, transforming it into an authentic and unparalleled miracle.
