As part of a planned African Tour,
International Tennis champions, Serena and Venus Williams are scheduled
to visit Lagos from Tuesday 30 October to Friday 2, November 2012 as
part of the first leg of the recently launched ‘Breaking the Mould’
(BTM) campaign, a women’s empowerment initiative that has already
garnered international support.
While in Lagos, Nigeria, the dynamic duo will inspire, motivate and
mentor a broad range of audiences through a series of supporting
initiatives which include; a gala dinner, a tennis clinic and an
exhibition match which will also be the first time the sisters will pit
their strengths against one another on the tennis court anywhere in
Africa. This will underpin BTM’s mission to recognise and acknowledge
the role that women play in shifting perceptions and encouraging
development on all levels across the African continent.
Connect Marketing Services, Octagon SA’s West African affiliate (the
architects of BTM), is coordinating the Nigerian element of the Williams
Sisters’ tour of Africa. Tunji Adeyinka, Managing Director of Connect
Marketing Services, says that ‘‘Breaking The Mould is an inspiring
mechanism to help women at various life
stages of their lives -
embark on a journey of self-belief so that they can know they can
achieve anything. The message of the African Tour by the Williams’
sisters will resonate with African women as a whole, who are often the
champions of change and encourage more women to do the same. Indeed, we
are proud to implement Breaking The Mould in Nigeria.”
Despite the high profile nature of these events, fans and followers of
the dynamic duo have the opportunity to WIN special invites to the gala
night, tennis clinics, and exhibition match. All any interested
participant needs to do is like the NigeriaBTM page on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/nigeriabtm) and also follow @nigeriaBTM on Twitter(www.twitter.com/nigeriabtm) for more details on how to WIN tickets.
This event will really boost the image of Lagos state a global sports
tourism location, and raise the global profile of all participating
brands.
