Katherine Kaneb, board chair of Brooke USA and founder of Brooke USA’s Sunset Polo & White Party explained that it truly takes a village to plan an event of such magnitude and scope. “We thank our Honorary Committee and our 2021 sponsors who have already stepped forward to enhance the evening, with Lugano Diamonds at the forefront as the evening’s presenting sponsor,” she said.
Chaired by Kaneb, the Honorary Committee includes Pernilla Ammann, Lisa Bair, Mark Beausoleil, Margaret Duprey, Barbara Gilbert, Antonia Ax:son Johnson, Gill Johnston, Marcia Kulak, Jennifer Magee, Victoria McCullough, Becky Reno and Laura Rombauer.
The annual fundraiser enables Brooke USA to finance programs that improve the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules, and thus improve the livelihoods of some of the most vulnerable communities across the globe.
Held for the first time at the Pavilion at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, Brooke USA’s Sunset Polo & White Party “Special Edition: Latin America,” presented by Lugano Diamonds, will, once again, offer an idyllic setting with the Terraza Collection of only six luxury lounges and 17 white Sunset Cabanas overlooking the championship polo field. Only 75 tickets are now available for the VIP Vistas, an indoor dinner experience overlooking the terrace. At $675, guests will enjoy an open bar featuring premium brands and partake in the custom-designed buffet menu by celebrity chef and Brooke USA ambassador Ingrid Hoffmann.
The event will also include the popular Sunset Polo exhibition match; a display of distinctive, one-of-a-kind Lugano Diamonds jewelry pieces; and a fabulous art exhibit curated by renowned Wellington and Hamptons art consultant Julie Keyes. Live entertainment will be provided by the Miami-based band Tartara and Latin dance instructor Jose Gomez. Guests can also look forward to the silent auction and AmFund’s luxury travel auction.
The program kicks off at 5:30 p.m. when the doors open. In addition to limited attendance, safety measures include social distancing standards, face masks required in common areas and private safety pods for guest units.
