Hello all,
The wait is over! We all saw the good news that JIT will be hosted by CanAm in 2025! That's indeed great news for all NorCal players, parents, clubs/coaches, and our badminton community! We should all thank CanAm, Synergy and Bintang for applying to host JIT and thank the community efforts to make an influence.
As we previously communicated, we set up the process and plan to execute if any NorCal club is selected to host JIT. The plan includes incentivizing clubs to bid, pushing to make the case for NorCal, collecting and providing the $20k funding to the hosting club, and encouraging community support in volunteering / helping out at JIT.
We are now at Step 6. You received this email because you previously submitted the pledge and are willing to donate the amount you specified in your response back in Dec 2024. Please use one of the following method to provide your fund
1. Benevity - please look for RisingStars Infinite. If your company does have a company matching program (donation or volunteer hours), we strongly encourage you to use this method so we can get additional funding to run our regular operations.
2. Zelle: https://www.zellepay.com/go/zelle ID: risingstarsinfinite@gmail.com
3.Cash - if you see me at upcoming RisingStars sparring events, at Synergy, or at South ORC.
4. Paypal: https://paypal.me/RisingstarsInfinite?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US (NOT Preferred, as there is a charge for each transaction)
If possible, please make your donation before 2/14. I understand the financial situation may change for anyone since the time you pledged. If you need more time or somehow you will not be able to provide the fund, please let me know through a separate email.
Also, if you would like to support all the efforts we do (sparring events, mini tournaments, camps, improve tournament experiences (ex. NorCal ORC), and other badminton related activities (like this Bring-JIT-to-Norcal as example)) at RisingStars, a 501(3)(c) Non-Profit organization, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to RisingStars. In the whole year of 2024, we received a total of $20 from 1 parent (yes, that's true, unfortunately. minus the processing fee, we got a total of $19 USD). Your donation will make a difference and will keep us going. You can make the donation in the same transaction with JIT fund, and mention the additional fund is for RisingStars. Thank you!
Thank you all.
Best regards,
Shao-wen
