annual event has grown from 300 guests in 2010 to close to 3000 with the popular market
filling the grass banks around the 5-hectare polo field. BlackBerry has been the headline
sponsor since the inception of Pink Polo in South Africa and expressed their commitment to
Reach for Recovery and Val de Vie Estate polo. Pink Polo is in aid of Reach for Recovery,
which is part of the Cancer Association of South Africa and is aimed to create as much
exposure and awareness about the growing disease and to raise funds to support the fight
against breast cancer. Twenty brave women, who have survived their battle with breast
cancer, showed their gratitude for the support by welcoming guests to the event. The event
serves as a kick-off to the polo season in the Western Cape and has become the most
popular polo event on the estate. The exhilarating match saw BlackBerry take on sub-
sponsor Gaggenau, with the latter claiming victory with the final score of 9 4.
