Mission: Polo for Philanthropy is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for other charities. The Polo Classic has been in existence for 26 years as the preeminent polo event in the Twin Cities. With a rich history of exciting competition and unique events, The Polo Classic continues to grow every year. In 2016 Diner en Blanc and The Derby Day Affair - Unbridled Fun for Philanthropy, have been added. Over $2 million has been raised in the past for Minnesota charities. Every August, Polo for Philanthropy invites charities to apply for funding for the following year. We also donate auction items and packages that typically include experiential items involving equines.

These guys create really cool events and I love the idea that they are making money for a variety of charities without asking for donations. We all get to go to great events where the money goes to charity. It's a triple win!

Absolutely wonderful! The genuine passion for contributing to a "better tomorrow" is evident in every event you attend. The events are always filled with such great people who are also aligned in contributing their time and resources to such a wonderful organization. No detail is left out from the quality venues, catering, entertainment and being part of a community that leaves you inspired. Thank you for all the efforts to "making an impact in the world you can be proud of".

Good that we are bringing on project management.
Glad that we will be hiring if people who are responsible for key areas don't do their job.

My husband and I went to both Polo en Blanc and The Polo Classic and were in awe of both events. We attend dozens of charity events each year and found these to be both unique and well managed. As an agency executive, I can say the marketing materials, website and on-site representation of sponsors were extraordinary and I am recommending the organization to several of our clients as a medium for product promotion and a splendid venue to entertain important clients. We walked the entire event and think it has something to offer everyone.

Our experience at the Polo Classis was excellent. The quality of the food was very good, the venue and the exciting day of Polo was exactly what our clients were looking for. The best part of the experiance was the frieindly staff and the fantastic causes they raised money for . They were very helpful and very welcoming and this is a can't miss event of the Minnesota Summer.
