Additional crowdfunding has begun.
Hello. I'm Karin Hashimoto, a member of the Volunteer Performers Crowdfunding Team.
In our first crowdfunding campaign last month, thanks to everyone's support, we were able to raise 227,500 yen (151%), far exceeding our target of 150,000 yen.
Thank you very much.
The donations raised in the first event will be used to cover the travel expenses of the volunteers who participated in the concert, as well as the travel expenses incurred by the staff in planning the concert. More details will be announced at a later date. (The photo at the beginning of this article was taken just before the concert in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture last year.)
Continuing on from the past, we started the second round of crowdfunding on Saturday, February 3rd at 9:00am.
(We want to bring music to the disaster-stricken areas – Tohoku Youth Orchestra Volunteer Performance – Additional support wanted )
Due to the large amount of support we received in our first crowdfunding campaign, and the number of people wanting to participate in the voluntary concert was higher than initially expected, we ended up exceeding our projected budget, which was a pleasant but embarrassing miscalculation. As the support we received in the first crowdfunding campaign was not enough, we have decided to hold a second event.
This time it will run for 21 days until 23:59 on Saturday, February 24th.
As with the first round, the donations raised in the second crowdfunding campaign will be used to cover travel expenses for volunteers and travel to meetings.
This season's volunteer concerts will end with two more in Minamisanriku Town on Saturday, February 17th and Ishinomaki City on Saturday, March 3rd. The remaining donations will be used for the next volunteer concert.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
