Pony up for POLO Pace | POLO FOR HEART

Bring your family and friends to enjoy Polo for Heart, an annual, three-day charity event held at the Toronto Polo Club in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

From June 19 to 21, 2009, your family can enjoy watching polo matches, participating in the traditional divot stomp and browsing boutique tents selling food, jewelry, clothing and accessories. With picnic areas for the public and exciting, on-going entertainment throughout the day, Polo for Heart is an unforgettable, family-friendly event!

Originated by Colonel Michael Sifton at the Toronto Polo Club, Polo for Heart has raised more than $3.5 million for heart disease and stroke research since 1979. The proceeds of Polo for Heart 2009 will go toward the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario’s Chase McEachern Tribute Fund, which supports the placement of life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in communities throughout Ontario.
