Crowdfunding Target Amount Achieved! Following their victory in the Eastern Division this season and their confirmed entry into the SV League in 2026, the Hokkaido Yellow Stars launched the '#YelloStarCrowdfunding: Let's Create a New Base for SV League Promotion Together' project to coincide with the completion of a continuously usable gym this June. Thanks to everyone's support, the project was a great success. We express our deepest gratitude to all supporters for their tremendous and warm backing. The funds collected in this project are planned to be used to purchase a serving machine to improve the training environment as they enter the SV League. 2. Message from Hokkaido Yellow Stars GM Odaka I am Odaka, GM of the Hokkaido Yellow Stars. In this crowdfunding campaign, we received warm support from all of you, raising a massive 2.35 million yen. I would like to express my sincere gratitude. The reason we have been able to continue practicing in a limited environment while using public facilities is purely because of your daily cheering and support. The new gym, set to be completed in June 2026, represents a major step forward, solving our long-standing issue of needing a 'base for continuous use.' The support we received this time will be carefully utilized to create an environment directly tied to player growth, such as introducing a serving machine and expanding training equipment. Our players continue to grow every day while facing the competition with sincerity. Your support provides a huge boost to turning their efforts into solid results. We will equip ourselves with the strength to fight through the SV League, advancing from Hokkaido to Japan's top league, and on to the stage beyond. We hope you will continue to watch over the challenges of the Hokkaido Yellow Stars. Thank you very much. 3.
