Life can be tough for aspiring athletes as they try to make it big professionally. Grueling training hours and numerous expenses make it tough for those who have to scrap their way to the big leagues. Luckily for them, Sqor Inc., a social sports platform, has started a new crowdfunding operation that allows athletes to raise money themselves.
With this new crowdfunding opportunity, soccer players, MMA fighters, and amateur golfers, just to name a few of the many athletes who are not discovered by being a star in college football, will all be able to raise the necessary funds for new gear or to meet the financial requirements for the next tournament they wish to participate in.
As a dedicated social and editorial platform for sports and athletes, Sqor is a logical springboard for an athlete crowdfunding venture. Having monetization as a primary goal with their fundraising program, they look to differentiate from other crowdfunding sites and offers athletes a specific opportunity to create a digital brand for themselves.
Besides offering athletes an easy way to raise money, Sqor is also allowing highly paid professional athletes an opportunity to raise money for charities to any particular cause they support. Brett Favre, for example, has raised funds for his Favre4Hope campaign that helps breast cancer survivors and children with disabilities through Sqor.
As Favre notes, many athletes support a wide variety of philanthropic causes and Sqor hopes to give them the platform to better reach their goals.
“ This is a great opportunity for athletes to take their passion projects to the next level and raise money for good causes. The team at Sqor, Inc. got me set up quickly and easily, and I’m looking forward to a successful campaign raising money for my charity.”
Sqor is offering athletes a chance to create an economic opportunity for themselves by connecting them with fans and marketers. The new crowdfunding feature will hopefully help athletes in need of an extra source of income to achieve their athletic goals. Additionally, fans of Favre, for example, can now support their favorite athlete’s off-field endeavors and go the extra mile with their allegiance.
