Thu 1st Sep 2022Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex wins for second year
On Thursday 25 August, Sentebale won the round-robin tournament for The Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup at Aspen Valley Polo Club with a 3-1 win against Royal Salute and a 4-2 victory over U.S. Polo Assn. Open Levita, played by Prince Harry and owned by Riley Ganzi, was the tournament's Best Playing Pony.
This was Sentebale’s second consecutive win in the tournament, with both Prince Harry and Grant Ganzi featuring in the team both years; Ganzi commented, "It's good fun to play in these kind of events. It was a great game. It was really fun to have Steve out there and amazing we got to play with Nacho and the Duke of Sussex. It was a wonderful cause that brings awareness and raises a good amount of money which is the No. 1 priority."
Each year, the Polo Cup raises awareness and funds to support Sentebale’s work with children and young people in Southern Africa whose lives have been affected by extreme poverty, inequality, HIV/AIDS and recently COVID-19. The Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup is the charity’s annual flagship fundraising event, which over the last decade has raised around $10 million to support Sentebale’s work.
