Women in floppy hats, men dressed to impress, champagne flowing and one of the world’s most fascinating sports painted the scene Saturday at the second annual Charity Polo Classic at the DI Polo field, located off Cowart Road in Plant City.
The event raised an estimated $150,000 for three Tampa Bay area charities: the Children’s Cancer Center, Wheels for Success and Starting Right Now.
The event featured a gourmet lunch, a charity raffle and, of course, an exhibition polo match, including special guest player John Walsh, host of “America Most Wanted.”
The Golf Channel’s Lauren Thompson was one of the emcees for the event.
