Who we are? Good question, but the answer is very simple. Ordinary people … who want to do something good. We don’t cure cancer, we don’t work on technological peculiarities, but we are able to help someone and that is our goal. This type of collection has not yet been on the Polish Internet. In addition, we collect funds in BTC and other cryptocurrencies. Why? Because this is the FUTURE … my … your … our common.
The problem with sports equipment in Polish clubs and their youth teams is a common and burdensome issue. On the one hand, it’s trivial and extremely necessary to be able to train football and compete in leagues and tournaments, and on the other, its acquisition is often a serious impediment, because it is at the very end in club spending. First you have to pay referees, trainers, rent sports facilities, a license in the Polish Football Association, trips to tournaments and youth camps. We understand this perfectly, which is why our initiative is guided by higher intentions.
We intend to buy 1337 sport costumes, which is why our project name is called ‘Project 1337’ (in so-called “leet speak ” means ELITE -> 1337). However, we have even greater aspirations because we want to buy 2,500 sets! There are 15-25 competitors per one youth squad. By dressing over 100 teams in Poland, we will fulfill the dreams of many children and their coaches and parents. Dreams of decent sport equipment. All costumes will be provided by the Kappa® brand agency – kappa4team.pl, which is a relatively new entity in Poland since it was established at the end of 2018.
Kappa® is a sportswear brand designed for active and dynamic people who, while playing sports, need technical and functional clothes with a modern design. Let the fact that the brand’s history dates back to 1916 is evidence of how strong the brand’s DNA is
Kappa® is a sportswear brand designed for active and dynamic people who, while playing sports, need technical and functional clothes with a modern design. Let the fact that the brand’s history dates back to 1916 is evidence of how strong the brand’s DNA is. One of the most recognizable trademarks among sportswear companies, i.e. the Kappa® logo, called Omini, was created in 1969 and has been uniquely associated ever since. Kappa® is technical sponsor of football clubs such as S.S.C. Napoli, Leeds United, AS Monaco or Panathinaikos Athens. In Poland, the brand dresses basketball teams playing in the highest class – Anwil Włocławek (Polish champion) and Asseco Arka Gdynia.
We have prepared 12 types of awards depending on the amount of the grant. Yes! Everyone gets something in return for helping us achieve our goals. So everything is done as part of the classic crowdfunding. The entire list of gifts can be seen at the bottom of the page. For strategic sponsors, we have prepared the possibility to place their company logo on all football jerseys, which we will give away as part of Project 1337! This is a real advertisement, because young people in these costumes participate in leagues and tournaments, where there are always a lot of supporters, parents, observers. In addition, a lot of photos and videos are made, which are then placed on club pages and Facebook fanpages. Advertising on sports clothes is one of the most favorite forms chosen by sponsors of all sports clubs.
TEAMS THAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT
GOSRiT Luzino
This is the first team registered in our program. The club is located in the Commune of Luzino in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It has 12 youth groups training football and playing in the leagues and at football tournaments. We must admit that the whole center, where young apprentices can train, is an amazing place. Parents of young players do not pay a penny of monthly contributions. It can be said that this is a sensation in Poland. The whole “organism” is made up of municipal money and funds obtained from sponsors. Everything is managed by a man with a big heart – Director Piotr Klecha. What this guy does for young people in his commune deserves full admiration. If it depended on us, we would have honored him with the Order of the Smile.
In addition to football groups, GOSRiT in Luzino also conducts sports activities for other disciplines. In total, over 400 people are members of the entire organization. The resort has an amount of approx. 250 thousand PLN for the entire calendar year. This is definitely not enough for such a large institution. It would be very bad if it were not for the rescue of permanent and occasional sponsors.. That is why we decided to help the Director Klecha and we want to provide sportswear that little athletes dream about.
Kujawiak Kowal
The next team qualified to our program is Kujawiak Kowal. Club from the small town of Kowal near Włocławek in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is an association founded on the foundations of great football traditions in the area. Currently has 5 youth years. The president of the club is Grzegorz Szefler – an entrepreneur who helps and finances the entire organization in an incredible way. He is a true titan of charity and thanks to him all teams can function normally.
The main sponsor of the club is the Kowal City Hall, which allocates approx. 50,000 PLN for the season. This is not enough to support a senior team appearing in the county league, not to mention youth teams. Were it not for the agility and knowledge of Grzegorz Szefler and his friendly businessmen who are able to generously support the whole club financially, there would be no football in the area. We say YES and we are happy to help young players play sport in Kowal.
KS Potęgowo
Definitely the youngest association among the teams qualified for our project. It is located in a large commune village about 30 km away from Słupsk in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The Potęgowo Sports Club unites only youth teams. He has three of them today. It arose as a result of a gap in the demand for sport and recreation for the surrounding youth after the “spectacular” fall of one club from the native village. The president of the club is Kamil Gapski, who bravely leads and manages the entire organization, and the task is not easy.
The financial demand for the functioning of three youth years for the entire season is about 50,000. PLN. The main sponsor is the Commune Office in Potęgowo. Were it not for the help of local entrepreneurs – sponsors, it would not be possible to keep teams in their leagues.
Money is lacking because many benefactors from the area no longer want to support young footballers. They donated a lot of money to the previous club, which had embezzled funds, so hardly anyone wants to finance a new association, given the bad past experience. Almost half of the parents of children associated in the club are exempted from paying monthly contributions due to their difficult financial situation. It is hard, but we hope that although we will be able to help a little … and with all our strength we will help!
Śnieżnik Domaszków
This is a club that is a real sensation. You need to travel 120 km to the nearest big city. It can be said that it is located in the middle of nowhere. In fact, it is a village with about 1,200 inhabitants located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. You don’t have to write a lot here. Only Sylwester Mendel knows about how hard it is – a man who doubles and triples, so that everything can function as normal.
The club has five youth teams that play in football leagues and tournaments. Acquiring financing in the situation in which Śnieżnik is located borders on a miracle. 90% of all cash is provided by the City and Commune of Przylesie, but this is barely enough. The association is extremely grateful for all forms of support. Also this time we decided to help!
Stoczniowiec Płock
It is the host team in our program on the recommendation of the Honorary Consul of Mexico in Gdańsk, Mr. Andrzej Suchecki. A club with huge traditions and rich history, which is far from its former splendor. Five youth teams, which appear in leagues and tournaments, need financial and material help every now and then. Piotr Noga has been the president since 2014, who, thanks to his resourcefulness, cares about order in the club, and also gets help from sponsors all the time. Money is always lacking, it’s not easy.
The club also has a senior team and total expenditure throughout the season is around 200,000. PLN. Organizing this amount of money is extremely difficult. About fifteen sponsors are currently doing their best to prevent the association from getting into financial trouble. As you know, the purchase of sports equipment in such a situation always lands at the very end. Therefore, we will help! Of course!
There’s also a place for your suggestion!
Have you heard about, or maybe you know a youth team that needs material help in the form of sportswear? Go ahead and write to: 1337@btcsport.pl. Submit your youth team to the program! We will see what can be done! 😉
