Iconic Sports Brand Donates to Equestrian and Polo Charities Chosen by the Finalists

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 8, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, the globally celebrated day dedicated to economic, social and gender equality for women, alongside the 2023 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship^®. The most prestigious cup in women’s polo in the United States runs from March 10-19. 

U.S. Polo Assn.’s involvement with the most celebrated cup for women’s polo in the United States includes donations made to polo and equestrian charities selected by the finalists in the 2023 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship. 

The qualifying games will be played at Port Mayaca Polo Club, while the U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship Final will be played once again at the world-renowned USPA National Polo Center (NPC) – Wellington on March 19. ESPN will distribute the Women’s Championship Final for sports fans around the globe, where it will be available on ESPN’s family of brands. Check your local listings for air times.

The 2023 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship is being played alongside International Women’s Day which honors women’s achievements around the world while challenging inequality and working to increase visibility for women. 

“Not only do these athletes exude incredible tenacity and strength on the field, but they also do off of the field. From lawyers, to entrepreneurs, to mothers, to movie producers, to students, to animal conservationists, and more, the contestants in this year’s Open fully show what a woman is capable of in their off-field endeavors,” said Meghan Gracida, USPA Women’s Committee Chair. “It is the great sport of polo that brings all of these women together to empower one another as players while exhibiting their love for the ultimate four-legged teammates—horses. I am honored to again be involved with this most special women’s polo event.”

Prominent players in this year’s high-goal tournament include Hope Arellano, Hazel Jackson, and Mia Cambiaso, to name a few.

“As a fourth-generation polo player, my love for the game started at a very young age and continues to provide opportunities for me to participate in top-rated polo tournaments, like the 2023 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship, which I am so grateful to be a part of,” said Hope Arellano, professional polo player and U.S. Polo Assn. Brand Ambassador. “I look forward to competing against incredibly talented women polo players and being surrounded by those in the South Florida polo community who support women’s professional polo.”

Unlike other team sports, women and men play polo together as equals, and approximately 40% of USPA club members are female. Women are, in fact, the fastest-growing segment in the sport of polo at the club level.

“The 2023 U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship is both a celebration and showcase of women’s many polo achievements,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, the worldwide licensor of the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “U.S. Polo Assn. continues to support the sport of polo and its players around the world both on and off the field, and this tournament highlights some of the very best female players in the sport.”

Lilia Donaldson continues her winning streak as the leader of kills, blocks, and hitting percentage.

BOULDER, Colo., March 6, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Rising volleyball star and Boulder, Colorado native, Lilia Donaldson, finishes high school season at the top and continues to excel in the club season with Roughriders Volleyball Club. The 6’2″, 17-year-old Middle Hitter, graduating from Fairview High School in 2023, leads the teams in blocks, kills, and hitting percentage and also named to the Colorado All Conference team. She planned to put that experience to work for her at a California university with a verbal agreement to an offer that was reversed in the Winter when the head coach resigned.  

Donaldson’s most recent stats: 

• .47 hitting (2023 club season to date)
• 100+ kills (2022/2023 high school and club seasons)
• 65 blocks (2022/2023 high school and club seasons)

As the high school and club team captain the last two seasons, Donaldson was also named Defensive Player of the Year two years in a row for her high school team. Driven by her goal to be an all around contributor, she has grown in her offensive skills. 

“Lilia is one of those players that is so coachable and her work ethic drives her to never stop learning,” says Rough Riders Volleyball Club Coach and Program Director, Ryan Glavor, former player at University of Hawaii and former coaching staff at University of Colorado. 

Donaldson also excels in the classroom with a 3.9 GPA out of 4.0, including AP level courses in Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology. She was named Academic All State First Team this year This will prepare her for her future academic plans of studying Chemistry to lead her to a career in forensics. 

Her extra curricular interests round out her leadership in and out of the classroom. She has been a lead volunteer for community fire relief efforts helping 1,000 Colorado families who lost their homes to the Marshall Fire this year. She has been an independent physics tutor for younger high school students and had a Summer Internship in Biomimetic Dentistry blending her love of science with real applications in dentistry. 

While Lilia’s passion for excelling on and off the court have resulted in college volleyball offers at multiple universities, she is searching for a team and school that fit her goals of contribution on both sides. 

If you represent a collegiate volleyball team and would like to discuss opportunities with Lilia, you can email [email protected].
