BENEFITS
The
Rob Walton arena benefits and the 2000 40-goal Rob Walton Benefit
were the inspiration for the formation of the PPSG. The 2002 Outback
40- Goal Rob Walton Challenge at the Royal Palm Polo Club was
the kickoff event for the PPSG.
We
continue to build on our success of 2005. The 2006 Outback 40
Goal Challenge raised over $285,000, and the 2007 and 2008 Challenges
raised over $400,000. The 2009 Challenge raised $275,000 and 2010
raised $350,000.
The Polo Player's Support Group is eternally grateful to the Oxley
Family and Royal Palm Polo for providing such a great venue to
host the first four Outback 40 Goals at the Royal Palm Polo Club.
We are equally grateful and would like to extend a thank you to
John Goodman and International Polo Club, home of the Outback
40 Goal since 2005.
This
year's 2010 Outback 40 Goal Challenge was played on February 13,
2010 at 3:00 pm at the International
Polo Club Palm Beach. Following
the game there was, as always, a fabulous party, including a VIP
dinner hosted by Outback Steakhouse and a live and silent auction.

Past Polo Support Group Events have also included:
Thanks
to Tim Gannon, Outback Steakhouse offered to provide the food
for approved clubs willing to host a benefit for the PPSG.
The
Outback 40-Goal Challenge is the marquee event of the fundraising
efforts of the Polo Players Support Group, Inc. The 40-Goal Challenge
offers a day of polo as it was meant to be - incredible polo on
the field and incredible food and festivities off the field.
These
events have happened as a result of the generosity of many people
including: the 10 goal players who mount themselves and provide
their services without compensation, the patrons of these players
who allow them to play and loan their horses, Tim Gannon and Outback
Steakhouse, who have been there from the beginning providing a
great meal to build each event around, and the Team Sponsors,
which have included Templeton, E-Commerce.com, Bud Light, Total
Body Rehabilitation, Crab Orchard and Bombay Sapphire.
The
PPSG is very grateful to everyone who has contributed to our success
to date. Heartfelt thanks go out to all our sponsors, donors,
ticket and auction buyers and the volunteers who help make it
happen.
