board is pleased to announce the return of PNC Bank as the presen�ng sponsor for the 2022 Windsor Charity Polo Cup. Addi�onally, the Ocean Research & Conserva�on Associa�on (ORCA) and the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) have been selected as the event’s two benefi�ng chari�es. Net proceeds for the biennial polo event, taking place Feb. 19, 2022, over President’s Day weekend, will be donated equally to both chari�es in support of their respec�ve causes.

“Suppor�ng the preserva�on efforts by ORCA, the na�on’s first technology-based marine conserva�on organiza�on, and ELC’s mission to educate, inspire and empower people to be ac�ve stewards of the environment, aligns closely with PNC’s na�onal environmental and sustainability more efforts,” said Cressman Bronson, PNC regional president of Southeast Florida. “We are proud of our con�nual involvement with Windsor Charity Polo Cup and its efforts to raise funds for such meaningful chari�es.”

The 2020 Charity Polo Cup raised $333,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County, the Literacy Services of Indian River County, and the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County local community chari�es - the highest amount of charitable dollars in the event’s history.

“The Founda�on’s goal for the biennial polo event is to give back to our local community. For the 2022 event, we selected two environmentally focused organiza�ons to support, which are doing excep�onal work in the areas of protec�ng cri�cal habitats, research and educa�on,” said Betsy Hanley, president of Windsor and vice chair of the Founda�on board.

Both chari�es selected this year have several Windsor Members as supporters and donors. Event beneficiaries play an ac�ve role in the success of the event and serve on the event planning commi�ee.

“ORCA is incredibly grateful to be named a beneficiary of the 2022 Windsor Charity Polo Cup. This support comes at a cri�cal �me for our organiza�on and for the Indian River Lagoon,” said Dr. Edie Widder, ORCA president, CEO and senior scien�st. “All of us at the Environmental Learning Center are thrilled to have been chosen as a co-beneficiary of the Windsor Polo event this February,” added Barbara Schli� Ford, the organiza�on’s execu�ve director. “Windsor is a premier, interna�onally known residen�al enclave and we are so proud to be working with these special neighbors. They embrace their role as stewards of this unique ecosystem. We look forward to an impac�ul and long-las�ng partnership with this local treasure.”
