Alumni Football Competition Raises Funds for Schools
1. 2nd
June 2014
Dear Sir/Madam,
SPONSORSHIP OF THE FIRST ALUMNI FOOTBALL COMPETITION (AFC – 2014).
We are duly registered Organization under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We are a consortium into the development of critical sectors of our society. We have
pioneered several educational and social programs that have impacted positively in our
society; this actually motivated us to seek other innovations to add value to our fledgling
schools’ sports infrastructures.
There always has been this challenge that ALUMNI and schools share. It is how to
synergize to improve the educational standard of their alma-mater. Alumni have had
limited time and resources to tour their former schools and/or Institutions in order to
determine the most apposite quality education supports to avail posterity; on the other
hand, schools/institution (Alma Mater) have not been having sufficient contact with most
alumni (individuals/groups) in order to enlighten them on the critical quality educational
infrastructures and services required. In the light of the above, we proudly offer a
sporting event tagged “Alumni Football Competition – AFC 2014” as an appropriate
solution to the above stated challenges; Date: November 2014. Venue: Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State
Alumni Football Competition (AFC – 2014) being the first edition will showcase the
country’s leading school’s alumni associations compete in a fund raising football
tournament towards supporting their alma mater to improve sporting facilities. AFC -
2014 will be a flagship networking event for all sports loving education stakeholders and
professionals in Nigeria; and also a guaranteed platform for achieving an instant
increment in the sponsor’s Return on Investment (ROI).
