Polo and Turf Club derived its name from the day and month Abuja was inaugurated as the
Federal Territory; 12th of December, 1991. Incidentally, it was commissioned on a unique date
that depicts the clubs power, class and grandeur; the 12th of December, 2012 (12-12-12).

Proposal for 12-12 Polo and Turf Clubs Upcoming Event

Proposed Event: International Charity Horseracing


Organizers: Twelve-Twelve Polo and Turf Club
Potential Sponsor: Coca Cola Co.
Date/Time: 26th 28th March, 2016.
Duration: 3 days
Venue: Plot 1539, Gwarimpa Hill, Ahmadu Bello Way, Abuja Nigeria.
Event Description

The International Charity Horseracing is proposed to be a three (3) day event with three cups
staked to be won. The Presidents Cup is in honour of the past and present Ministers of the
Federal Capital Territory. The Sultan Abubakar III cup is in acknowledgement of the selfless
sacrifices made by the late Sultan in sustaining peaceful coexistence in the North and the rest of
Nigeria, and to identify with his contributions and love for equestrian sports. Chief of Army
Staff (COAS) Cup heralds the achievements and success thus far under the effective leadership
of Chief of Army Staff and also the relationship between the Nigerian Army and equestrian
sports.

In Abujas 24 years history as the Federal Capital Territory, Horseracing has never been
organized by any club or turf and we are happy to be blazing a trail that projects Abuja on to a
global pedestal. As you are aware, Abuja is the corporate as well as the administrative center of
the entire nation. Having successfully organize a Democracy Day International (Invitational)
Polo Tournament in June, 2015 which was ably sponsored by Exxonmobil, and a memorable
International Charity Polo Tournament from November 12 to 15, 2015, we make bold to say that
have the right facility and events that attract highly placed government dignitaries and captains
of industry.

The interest of Coca Cola in customer satisfaction and value based contributions to the society
makes partnering with Twelve-Twelve Polo and Turf Club an alignment of objectives of the
two organizations in more ways than one.

12-12 Polo and Turf Club has deeply rooted Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles,
therefore we earmark some percentage of sponsorship Proceeds for Community Involvement and
Development Projects. The funds are directed strategically towards a charity cause that we tag on
every of our events. For the International Charity Horseracing event, the club is directing its
awareness and attention to revitalizing the state of education in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria
that have been under the scorch of insurgence.

Conclusion

We are confident that no other sport than Horseracing, and no other organization than Twelve-
Twelve Polo and Turf Club has the capacity to project the intrinsic values Coca Cola possesses,
to the rest of Abuja and Nigeria at large.

The adrenaline and the thrills of horseracing is unequalled by any other sport therefore it attracts
people of different but special interests. The excitement of the game has the ability to converge
individuals of elitist status as well as other classes of thrill seekers. The International tournament
and its wide net of expected patronage forms a viable potential platform for your Coca Cola to
create wider awareness for special products and packages.

Should Coca Cola be interested in Sponsoring the Horseracing derby, further detail of the
sponsorship proposal can be provided.
