Imperial College Kabaddi Club Imperial College Union Beit Quad South Kensington Campus London SW7 2BB

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you on behalf of Imperial College Kabaddi Club regarding sponsorship during the academic year 2013/14.

IC Kabaddi Club is a brand new sports team at Imperial College London. From its humble origins in Asia, Kabaddi has now acquired a global status with its own World Cup and forms one of the main sports of the Asian Games (the second largest sporting event in the world after the Olympics).

With bi-weekly training sessions every Tuesday and Thursday (5-6pm) in the Union Gym, we are committed to bringing recognition to one of the fastest growing sports in the UK, following the showing of England Womens Kabaddi team in the recent world cup. We have regular matches in the National University Kabaddi League (NUKL) which involves playing in different universities in the UK such as Birmingham, Manchester, LSE and Aston. We also participate in a national sports competition in Wolverhampton which was attended by approximately 1,500 people last year.

Following the success of last years team, of which many members where brand new to the sport, this year IC Kabaddi is looking to have at least a 1st and 2nd team and a newly introduced girls team, which we are very excited about.

However, in order for this to become a reality we need financial support from companies such as yourself. Supporting IC Kabaddi will be an incredible opportunity for you to increase your brand awareness - not only at this prestigious institution, but also at the many different universities we will compete against over the next year. Your valuable sponsorship will also support and provide recognition to a popular upcoming sport and inspire the forthcoming generation of young professionals.

In return for your support we will provide your brand with a clear presence within our club, ranging from kit, posters and banners adorned with your logo as well as access to our mailing list, invites to matches and the opportunity to demonstrate your ideas or products to the society in person and much more! We believe that with your support our club can flourish and we would love to work with you this academic year. Overleaf are the sponsorship packages and please note it may be possible for us to tailor a package to your specific needs, therefore do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you. Kindest Regards, Keshav Gupta IC Kabaddi President 2013-14

What is Kabaddi?
Kabaddi is a sport derived from South Asia that is quickly growing in popularity in the UK. Two teams occupy opposite halves of a pitch and take turns sending a "raider" into the other half, in order to win points by tapping members of the opposing team; then the raider tries to return to his own half, holding his breath and chanting the word "Kabaddi" during the whole raid. If the opposing team catches the raider then they get a point. The team with the most points at the end wins.

Why sponsor us? What can we offer?
