The sound of galloping hoofbeats once again thundered around an elated audience Monday, Feb. 28 during the seventh annual Polo for a Purpose event at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington. The exciting match had a close finish between Team Horse Scout, led by Baljit Sierra, and the Dracarys Polo Team, headed by Chetan Krishna. Team Horse Scout emerged victorious from the good-natured game by a score of 6-5. Proceeds from the “Passage to India” fundraiser — more than $850,000 — will benefit organizations supporting children and families touched by childhood cancer, including the Pediatric Oncology Support Team, the Kids Cancer Foundation, the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation and Baptist Health’s Miami Cancer Institute.
