Please join us for the Second Annual Polo Charity Classic as we celebrate NCEFT’s mission of transforming lives through equine-assisted therapies. Enjoy an unforgettable afternoon featuring two thrilling polo matches, silent and live auctions, a catered luncheon with an open bar, the traditional divot stomp, and special surprises throughout the day.

Guests will have the opportunity to bid on an exciting lineup of auction packages, including a week-long stay in Tuscany, Italy; exclusive dining experiences at local favorites such as Sundance The Steakhouse, Yéobo, darling, and Café Vivant; a hotel stay and dinner at Park James; a private photography session with Schumacher Photography; premium wines from Saarloos & Sons; tickets to the Golden State Warriors, Bay FC, and Golden State Valkyries; and much more.

We hope to see you there donning your most fabulous hat! Attire is country club casual/garden party. For your safety and comfort, the venue requires flat-bottom shoes (no pointed heels please).

More event information will be emailed to guests with a registered email address a few days before the event.

Horses. Hope. Healing. Three simple words that, when combined, have the power to transform lives. NCEFT is centered around helping people. We are about compassion, inclusiveness, and offering the highest level of service to those in need. We do this by harnessing the unique connection between horses and humans. NCEFT is also about community. Many of our clients and families describe NCEFT as a place that feels like home with people who feel like family.
