J.League TEAM AS ONE Donation Drive
When a major disaster occurs, all J.League clubs unite under the banner of "TEAM AS ONE" to conduct simultaneous donation drives. Donations collected are primarily used to support affected individuals immediately after the disaster, and are generally donated as relief funds to public institutions.
