Gstaad, Switzerland – The Gstaad Polo Club played host to JustWorld International’s first ever polo fundraising event, raising 20,000 Swiss francs during the prestigious Hublot Polo Gold Cup held August 16 to 19 in Gstaad, Switzerland. JustWorld International is a not-for-profit, humanitarian organization, which works as a catalyst for positive change in the developing world by helping impoverished children.
Four teams took to the field to battle for top spot, all while raising awareness and funds for JustWorld International. For each goal scored, the tournament donated 100 francs to benefit children at JustWorld’s project site in Cambodia. The announcers also took each goal as an opportunity to raise awareness about JustWorld’s programs, making each one count for so much more than simply a single point scored in the game.
A total of 54 goals were scored over the two-day competition, raising 5,400 francs. Further donations by Gstaad Polo Club President and tournament organizer Pierre Genecand as well as other generous donors brought the total amount raised to 20,000 Swiss francs.
