Crowdfunding for 'Tochigi Nikko Ice Hockey 100-Year Legacy Project' Extended Until June 30

Spportunity Co., Ltd., a company providing sports-specialized crowdfunding for teams, organizations, and athletes, has decided to extend the crowdfunding period for the 'Tochigi Nikko Ice Hockey 100-Year Legacy Project' Executive Committee until June 30. The extension aims to provide more individuals with the opportunity to participate in the '100-Year Legacy' project.

1. Appreciation for Achieving the 5 Million JPY Initial Goal
Thanks to the support of many, the committee has secured the basic production costs required to build the monument. Tochigi Nikko is a region that has long supported Japan's ice hockey culture, with its history woven through the contributions of players, officials, fans, and local residents. This project is receiving widespread acclaim not just as a monument construction effort, but as an initiative to pass on 'ice hockey as a regional culture' to the future.

2. Extending the Crowdfunding Period to Commemorate More Stories
Since the project's inception, there have been numerous requests from those who want their names or the names of their families and teammates recorded as part of the '100-Year Legacy.' The opportunity to have one's name engraved on the monument is exclusive to supporters of this project and serves as a special plan where names can be displayed alongside past players. In response to this feedback, the committee has decided to extend the period until June 30, 2026.

3. Expanding the Use of Funds: Supporting the Next 100 Years for Junior and Women's Generations
In addition to the monument-related expenses, any additional funds raised will be utilized to support the reinforcement and development of junior and women's teams, helping to connect Tochigi Nikko's ice hockey culture to the next 100 years.
