Star polo player and Wellington resident Nic Roldan has become an ambassador for the Kids Cancer Foundation.
Roldan has become one of the top professional polo players in the world today and holds many of the highest accolades prized by the adrenaline-charged sport.
Born in Buenos Aires and raised in the U.S. and Brunei, the fourth-generation polo player remembers swinging a polo mallet by age four.
Roldan captured his first major win — the U.S. Open Polo Championship in 1998 with team Escue — after reaching professional status at age 14.
Roldan has charged polo fields on five continents and continues to add to his roster of wins. This rising polo star has now added to his resume ambassador for the Kids Cancer Foundation, a local charity whose mission is to provide hope and support to children and families battling childhood cancer and/or blood disorders in the community — a cause he is passionate about.
The foundation educates families about their child’s diagnosis and treatment and provides the emotional, financial and spiritual support the child and their family need throughout their journey.
