By bringing world-class polo to the Santa Ynez Valley, the Classic’s mission is to raise much-needed funds for People Helping People’s programs, which are dedicated to improving the lives of adults and children in the Santa Ynez Valley and Los Alamos by addressing emergency and basic needs. It brings all of the players and us great joy to be able to play the sport we love, on the horses we love, in front of spectators from this great valley that we love – all to benefit those who receive support from People Helping People. It is our honor to showcase polo for such a special cause.
