The Charity Polo Classic was founded in early December 2011 by Advertising Executive and Professional Polo Player, Chris Gannon and Children’s Cancer Center Board Member, Patrick Moraites. The men decided to combine their love for philanthropy and polo to create an event that is unlike any other in the Tampa Bay area. After reaching out to their business contacts and friends, the Inaugural Charity Polo Classic Planning Committee was created. The team was given the difficult task of conceptualizing and organizing a large-scale event in only three months. Now, 10+ years later we’re on track to raise more money than ever before at our largest event yet! We’ll see you in 2025!
Mission statement: Uniting communities through memorable polo experiences to raise funds and awareness for vital local causes.
Vision statement: To create an extraordinary polo experience that fosters community connection while generating essential funds to empower local nonprofit organizations with meaningful, impactful support throughout Tampa Bay.
