The 2025 Summer Polo Charity Classic was hosted on Sunday, Aug. 17, by Aspen Valley Polo Club, which is owned by Marc and Melissa Ganzi.
Guests gathered on the sunny afternoon at the club grandstand at their polo fields in Carbondale. More than 200 polo enthusiasts were in attendance for the fun and festive party with champagne, caviar, a live auction, and a paddle raise benefiting Aspen Valley Health.
At the halfway point, all were invited to “stomp the divots,” and there was even a “Polo 101” tutorial for those not familiar with the game. Sponsors included Vectra Bank, Lugano, Clark’s Market, Rancho Los Amigos, Kemo Sabe, Martin Engineering, Jack and Michele Lafield, Pam Alexander, Crown Chocolates, Haselden Construction, and Chalet Alpina.
The event raised $672,600 to support Aspen Valley Health operations and the health of the Roaring Fork Valley community.
