Have you purchased your ticket(s) yet for the Smithsonian Young Benefactors Polo Cup? If not, for shame, but you can still do it online. Get your rear in gear and firm up plans with friends now because it’s only a few weeks away.
If you recall how sharply the US Olympians were dressed during the Opening Ceremony thanks to Ralph Lauren (the official US Olympic Team Outfitter), you will want to be on the National Mall the day of September 6th, as Ralph Lauren is a major sponsor of the YB Polo Cup, and ahem … how many times may I spell out this glorious international model polo star’s name: NACHO FIGUERAS - will be playing (Polo Black Model) amongst Chet Lott and John Walsh.
By the way, if you want to watch some fun footage on polo and Nacho, go to http://www.nachofigueras.com/en-us/default.aspx and watch the very short video.
Buy your table or ticket(s) today: www.youngbenefactors.org
Thank you for your support of the educational and kids programs of the Smithsonian.

Ouch… this event is way to expensive this year? What happened… $375 per person is outrageous. No Way. You just lost our family suporting Smithsonian forever.

We hope with a little clarification, you will agree this years event will be superb! We are delighted to have both new and returning sponsors as well as, terrific ticket sales to date! Ticket prices are actually the same as last year (or less) for the Smithsonian Cup (YB Tent $125/Member and $150/Non-Member; Diamond Tables have been reduced from 2007 to $7,500 and Regular tables remain to be $5,000.)
This year, we have introduced a new opportunity for individuals to have access to the VIP Tent for less than the $5,000 table commitment. We have a very limited number of VIP Tickets available, and are delighted to share we only have 15 left! Not only do the VIP tickets allow someone to purchase access to the VIP tent and the VIP After Party for less than $5,000, but there is a slight discount for individuals since tables equate to $500/pp.
Just think… an entire day of fun, friends, impeccable fashion, philanthrophy paired with endless bubbly, tasting treats, the sport of kings and need we say more about our polo players this year??
Sounds like heaven and an event not to be missed!
