AUGUST 4TH, 2012
Think of a sunny afternoon sipping champagne and wine with a group of friends — then you hear it — the crack of a polo mallet hitting a ball and the thunder of hoof beats as the horses and their riders tear down a polo field the size of nine football fields hoping to score with their opponents in hot pursuit! An exciting event is planned for Saturday August 4, 2012 and we invite you to join the fun and at the same time contribute to patient support and research at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at Toronto General Hospital and Institut de Cardiologie de Montreal!
Polo avec Coeur starts at noon with a champagne reception and lunch with wine and beer included at tented tables catered by one of Montreal's fine caterers. Two polo games with amateur players from the Montreal and Ottawa area as well as professional players from Argentina and the United States who have played in Argentina, the USA and Europe will entertain the guests with some of the fastest, most exciting polo that can be seen in Canada. Corporate tables for 10 guests are sold for $3,500; however, the price is reduced to $3,000 for those who purchase and pay for their table by June 30, 2012. We expect to sell 30 to 40 tables, with a total of up to 400 guests. This event has been very well received by both our corporate sponsors who purchase tables and by their guests -- several of our corporate sponsors have told us that clients actually call them in advance, seeking an invitation to the event! Some of our corporate sponsors use this event as an employee incentive event and have been very pleased with the response from their employees. For the ladies, there is a "Best Hat" contest with the award announced between the two games. Guests will also be entertained by the Camerons Regimental Pipe Band and a parade of mares and their young foals, ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months old! There will be both a silent and live auction. This year's theme is "A Touch of Red!". The day ends around 4:00 pm. A registration form is enclosed. The Peter Munk Cardiac Centre in Toronto provides world-class cardiovascular care.
