The PPSG, a charitable organization recognized under section 501(c)3, has been a cornerstone in offering support to polo players and grooms since its establishment in 2002, with total donations now surpassing $3 million. Contributions to this year's event included both in-kind support, with branded performance jerseys provided for all participants, and a direct monetary donation from the U.S. Polo Assn.

The highlight of the event was a 40-Goal match featuring some of the most acclaimed players in the sport, such as Adolfo Cambiaso, Poroto Cambiaso, Jero Del Carril, and Hilario Ulloa. The day's festivities also encompassed an opening ceremony, a trophy ceremony, and the Future 10’s kids match, all leading up to a gala dinner and auction. The auction, featuring items like signed player jerseys, significantly contributed to the total funds raised, amounting to over $450,000 for the PPSG.

J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company managing the U.S. Polo Assn. brand, expressed his enthusiasm for the event's impact, stating: “As Title and Official Apparel Sponsor of the U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge, this event plays a crucial role within the polo community, which aligns with our sport-inspired brand’s mission to support the sport of polo.” He added, “We also love that U.S. Polo Assn.’s authentic connection to the sport of polo and the polo community can be highlighted by supporting organizations like the Polo Players Support Group at the USPA’s world-class National Polo Center.”

The U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge not only underscored the brand's commitment to the sport of polo but also highlighted the community's collective effort to support its members in times of need.
