POLO FOR CHILDREN
The Many Hats Institute (MHI)
is honored to be teaming up with the Summerhill
Polo Club to present Polo For Children. This exciting
season of polo will benefit various Many Hats
children and youth initiatives. Summerhill Polo
Club, which is owned and operated by world renouned
trainer Mara Hagane and 6- goal player, Charlie
Muldoon has a long and interesting relationship
with the Many Hats Institute. Many "Hatters",
including MHI founder, Fabian Koss have been playing
polo at the Club for over 20 years. The polo grounds
and MHI have organized numerous fundraisers over
the years that have benefited
children all over the globe. Summerhill Polo attracts
many high-goal and international players from
countries such as Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia,
England, and Mexico.
Founded in 1999, the Many Hats Institute (MHI)
is a non-profit, non-governmental, 501 (c) (3)
organization dedicated to improving the conditions
for children and youth worldwide. Together with
AOL@School and Youth Service America MHI created
the Reach Your Peak (RYP) program. RYP works to
inspire youth ages 12-18 to dream, and gives them
the resources they need to realize their personal
potential and their community goals. RYP provides
youth with the courage, training, and tools to
achieve their goals through activities related
to goal-setting, education, fundraising, and volunteer
service. The curriculum clearly lays out a road
map for youth to set their own goals and take
action to achieve them.
The Many Hats Institute’s “Hatters”
are a network of professionals from many backgrounds,
who raise funds and provide assistance to promote
positive youth development. Past MHI initiatives
have included a Placido Domingo concert to raise
funds for young victims of the El Salvador earthquakes.
MHI organized a series of polo matches that benefited
the Garaham Children’s Hospital in Buenos
Aires, and provided matching funds for the Saks
Jandel/Carolina Herrera Fashion Show benefiting
Rincones Dance Company’s Nina’s Kids
Fund. MHI has teamed up with the World Wildlife
Fund to raise funds for their work with young
volunteers in the preservation of the Atlantic
Forest.
