Retirement of Polo Classic We’ve arrived at the beginning of a new era for Children’s Home Society & Family Services. Over the years, Polo Classic Sunday has been a celebration of our mission, bringing together families and friends and raising nearly $2 million to support our much-needed services to children and families.
After considerable evaluation and numerous discussions with key stakeholders, the Development Committee of the Board of Directors and staff have decided that this past Polo Classic will be the last. In its 18th and final year, this past Polo Classic Sunday reached the height of its success, culminating with recognition by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine as the best fundraising event of 2007, a tribute to the considerable effort put forth by recent and past committee members, the Board of Directors, Directors Emeriti, sponsors, families and staff. As Polo Classic Sunday’s tenure comes to an end, we wish to thank all of those who helped support CHSFS at this event.
With the support of our compassionate and dedicated friends like you, CHSFS has continued to evolve, throughout its long history, to meet the changing needs of children and families. As we begin this new era and explore new opportunities for fundraising events, we want to express our gratitude for your valuable efforts.
We look forward to your continued commitment to the agency through existing and future endeavors.
