The 30th annual Skidmore College Polo Fundraising Dinner was last week, and despite less than stellar attendance and an economic climate stifling philanthropy the event raised 150,000 bones for the Joseph C. and Anne T. Palamountain Scholarship Fund. This year’s dinner was called Polo By Twilight–at this time we are unsure if this is some strange reference to Stephanie Meyer’s young adult novels.

The event included food prepared by Dining Services Executive Chef James Rose and silent and live auctions featuring items most aptly described as “appealing to a polo crowd.” If you care about which socialites bought which items at the dinner’s auctions click here.

19 students were able to attend Skidmore with financial assistance from the Palamountain Scholarship Fund last year.
