A new chapter in is set to open in the Thailand polo calendar with the kick off of ‘Queen’s Cup Pink Polo’, the first-ever woman’s polo tournament in the Kingdom being held to raise awareness of breast cancer. The mission behind Pink Polo is to raise funds to provide lifesaving access to care at the King Chulalongkorn hospital’s Queen Sirikit Center for Breast Cancer research and treatment.
The charity game is being organized by Nunthinee Tanner, the managing director of LBG Limited, an importer and distributor for ESCADA luxurious fashion brand in Thailand as the game’s main sponsor and chairman of the ‘Pink Polo’ organizing committee. The event will take place at the Thai Polo & Equestrian Club in Pattaya this coming Sunday, March 1 starting at 2 p.m. For the first time the crowd, including real men, will be encouraged to wear pink costume to show their support in the fight against breast cancer.
Nunthinee said, “We are excited to organize this charity activity for a life changing initiative, as this one-of-a-kind fundraising game gets into the spirit to save lives and not only raise more money but also awareness of breast cancer. The women’s polo match between the Escada team and the Thai Polo team will see players come from many countries to take part, including Singapore, Malaysia and Germany. The winning team will receive a cup generously donated by HM the Queen. The Pink Polo is also practically the final match for Thai polo season.”
Surrounded by a beautiful natural environment and a club house and booths decked out in pink decorations, the Thai Polo & Equestrian Club in Pattaya will be a great place to bring the family on Sunday for a picnic and to watch some top class polo. Kids can learn how to play polo, hit a ball and swing the stick, whilst others can just enjoy the pony riding. Another highlight at the event will be the ‘Pink Collection’ fashion show on horseback from renowned luxury fashion houses by Escada, Burberry, La Perla and Lamatina. And lest we forget, the traditional divot stomping will take place at half-time where guests can wander all over the field to stomp down the torn up turf and to meet great people or even to say hello to the players.
