Omaha is incredibly philanthropic, what I love about this event is that there really
is nothing like it. I think about my wife as an example, she looks for that hat for
a number of months because you don’t see that very often. That’s been a fabulous
because we have grown every year. People ask years in advance when is this event going
to be? When are we going to have the opportunity to buy tickets because it is such a unique
opportunity to have a special event with polo and something that is very unusual for Omaha
to bring it and celebrate it here. This will be the third time we have been involved in
this fundraiser over here in Omaha it’s really been a lot of fun for us. The medical
center has really gone out of their way not only to go out of their way to promote the
event and raise some money. But also they really take good care of us and we enjoy coming
over and playing. We really enjoy like I said coming over here because it is a good cause
and the people really get behind it. And for the patients that are here visiting that have
somebody help them out with that really is really great and a good feeling to be part
of that. The medical centers commitment toward healthcare and those who have need is in the
multiple millions of dollars but this fund is very specific what it does is provide assistance
that is non medical. It’s for the those patients that don’t have the ability to
stay in town when a relative is having a transplant they come to our doorstep with no clothes
because of an emergency situation. This fund helps those families who are needing the most
amount of assistance and the commitment the Nebraska Medical Center has towards making
the whole patient and their family is taken care of. We have just grown every year both
in number of attendees and dollars raised. Really a proud moment for the medical center
to be able to raise the kind of money to help our patients.
