CPC Pay-It-Forward Application

Each year the Charity Polo Classic raises monies for our selected benefiting charities in addition to our Title Sponsor’s charity of choice. In an effort to make an impact on the Tampa Bay community beyond just a single day in February impacting our legacy charities, Charity Polo Classic has the CPC Pay It Forward program. This allows us to donate money throughout the year to charity organizations beyond just our three main benefiting charities.
