EMU Volleyball launches as the first effort for the new fundraising campaign
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics, in cooperation with the Eastern Michigan University Foundation, is launching a new crowdfunding fundraising initiative.
Crowdfunding offers donors, alumni and fans a modern avenue to directly support EMU student-athletes and the teams most meaningful to them. The crowdfunding platform will streamline the sport club model for sport-specific fundraising, and allow for better communication and understanding of how donors generous support positively impacts EMU student-athletes. This will also allow teams to visually show their specific fundraising goals to donors and display how they are achieving them.

The first crowdfunding effort is for EMU Volleyball and their goal to take the first ever foreign tour within the program.
"At this point," head coach Kimi Olson said, "The team is putting the puzzle pieces together and dreaming up a trip that would fit the aspirations of all team members. The program wants everyone to benefit from even the very first step of dreaming up a location to the reality of funding this dream."
"This is just one of the stepping stones the team is ready to accomplish in pursuit of future MAC Championships, as well as champions in the classroom and community," said Olson.
An international experience will allow the team to compete overseas, learn about a new culture and be an incredible bonding experience. You can learn about and support their effort at:
