American Humane Society Hosts 2025 Polo Brunch with DAR

Wellington, FL – The Henry Morrison Flagler Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), led by Regent Linda Adelson, partnered with American Humane Society on January 19 for a delightful brunch and polo match at the National Polo Club to celebrate American Humane Society’s life-changing Pups4Patriots™ program.

The event brought the community together for an afternoon filled with camaraderie, stunning equestrian displays, and a shared commitment to supporting our nation’s veterans. Guests enjoyed hearing from the American Humane Society team about their Rescue, Care, and Protect mission, as well as their critical work in California, where they are assisting animals affected by the devastating wildfires.

“This event perfectly embodied the spirit of community,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American Humane Society. “At American Humane Society, we believe in bringing people together to celebrate compassion and shine a light on the incredible work being done to save lives and heal hearts—whether that’s helping animals during a disaster or matching veterans with trained service dogs through our Pups4Patriots program.”

“As members of the DAR, we are proud to uphold the values of patriotism, service, and civic responsibility.,” said Linda Adelson, Regent for the Henry Morrison Flagler Chapter of DAR. “Our work goes beyond just preserving history – it’s about actively making an impact in the present. Supporting initiatives like Pups4Patriots is just one way we honor the service of those who have protected our freedoms.”

The sunny day at the National Polo Club offered an opportunity to celebrate the core civic values that bind us together—patriotism, service, and community. It was a time to honor our veterans and the sacrifices they’ve made, while also highlighting the impactful work of programs like Pups4Patriots, which provides service dogs to veterans in need. The afternoon emphasized the collective spirit of giving back, reinforcing how community, compassion, and service can uplift and transform lives.
