2 Please Save the Date for Saint John s inaugural Polo for Change, event on May 20! After 10 wonderful years of hosting the Tea for Change, we felt it was time for change which is where Polo for Change comes in! Polo for Change, a family affair, will feature a real polo match, a variety of food and beverages, a shopping promenade, a silent auction, live music, equine demonstrations, a hat competition, a dapper gentleman s contest and a Champagne Divot Stomp -- a traditional half-time event whereby guests are invited onto the field, champagne in-hand, to help repair divots created by the horses hooves. For those in need of a hat, there will be a hat shop located in the event promenade (some of these hand-made by the clients of Saint John s!). Polo for Change is also your opportunity to partner with the mission of Saint John s and proudly showcase your commitment to creating a better future for homeless mothers and children and the community we all share. Please consider joining us as a sponsor come of this incredible event for Real Change. The following sponsorship package outlines the benefits of each sponsorship level, and at the highest levels, we can customize benefits to accommodate your goals. Saint John s Program for Real Change operates the largest shelter in Sacramento County, and indeed the only one dedicated to serving women and children. We give them the ability to rise above devastating, negative elements and achieve job-readiness and self-sustainability. Entry into the program is limited, and each step is extremely rigorous. But those who see it through end up with rewarding, happy, and productive lives for themselves, and for their children. The numbers and needs of single-mother-led families entrapped in poverty and homelessness are growing. Thanks to your past support, Saint John s is expanding its capacity by 90 women and children this year! We plan to continue to grow until our 250 person nightly waitlist is down to zero! We need your support to make this plan a reality. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to honoring your company and seeing you at Polo for Change! Sincerely, Michele Steeb CEO, Saint John s Program for Real Change
