U.S. Women’s Polo Federation Rolls Out Red Carpet in Palm Beach Area for Polo Championships
WELLINGTON, FL - 2004—As the United States Women’s Polo Federation (USWPF) wraps up another successful leg of its 2003/2004
Championship Polo Season, the tent festivities and event planning have begun
for delivery of their final red carpet event of the season which will be hosted
in Wellington, FL at the Palm Beach Polo Club over a swank 3-day sporting event
weekend.
The USWPF is bringing in its Championship polo players to vie for the 2005/2006
U.S. Women
’s Polo Federation’s Championship Cup with their field play greatly anticipated by polo enthusiasts
across the country.
Event planners for the league agree that L.A., New York and Palm Beach attendees
will be captivated by this year
’s red carpet festivities. Although an event calendar has been released by the
league online, some of posh particulars of the VIP event details are being kept
hush by the event planners so that they may later fully regale the spectators.
“My primary goal for the USWPF is to innovate women’s polo and bring it to the forefront of professional premium sports,” remarked Kimberly Carr-Cavallo, USWPF President & League Commissioner in a prior press conference. “Sports and entertainment today are more intertwined than ever. We intend to
contribute greatly with new and enthralling imagery. From celebrities and
society women in hats to corporate decision-makers in casual linens, with
programs in hand, all are riveted by the match play on game day. There is a
true air of excitement amongst the spectators when the horses come barreling
down the field towards them with players swinging away with their mallets
amongst all of the clapping at the sidelines and buzz of the champagne tents.
”
The pro polo league partnered again with the premier Passport Publications & Media Corporation to promote their upcoming red carpet event in the Palm Beach
Polo Magazine as well to develop new relationships with the Wellington
Equestrian Festival. Previously the league has also worked with Passport
supporting annual area American Red Cross Polo Luncheon benefit events.
Founded in 2000, the pro league which was initially comprised of Eastern and
Western Circuit teams, planned to expand into twelve (12) regional teams over
the five (5) seasons. However, with top players and captains such as Alina
Carta, Stormie Hale, Roxy Keyfauver, Karen Pimsner and Jolie Liston returning
once again for the league
’s 2005 Season, the USWPF’s talent pool is developing quite a following. This season the USWPF also
recruited former popular collegiate players Kelly Wells and Fiona Seager from
University of Virginia to its roster for the Charlottesville Violet-tails team.
Charlottesville compellingly defeated and eliminated hometown favorite Atlanta
Firetails with a 5 to 4 match win this summer at the Atlanta leg of the
Tournaments.
The USWPF, governing entity to the 32-team major sports league, will be fielding
pro polo teams in Aiken, Atlanta, Bowling Green, Charlottesville, Chicago,
Dallas, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Lexington, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Palm
Beach, San Diego, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. in the 2006/2007 Season.
Although the broad appeal of polo as a classic sporting event is well
established, the sixteen (16) pro teams make the sport personally identifiable
to luxury consumers on a regional basis as well.
As a premier luxury sports league, the USWPF is positioned to reach a very
important women
’s demographic base, specifically in the mid- to upper income ranges. The league’s leading synergy with the luxury market continues to attract sponsors: Clive
Christian, Van Michael Salon, Westye Group, The Wrecking Bar, Mori Luggage,
Capetown Diamond Corp., Season Magazine, Sporting Woman Magazine, Atlanta Homes
& Lifestyle Magazine, the Wyndham-Vinings Hotel and the St. John Boutique are
counted among the season
’s recent top drawer sponsors. Championship Play-Off sponsors will enjoy chic
corporate villages with hosted entertaining areas at the upcoming red carpet
roll out event.

sporting event, or sponsorship opportunities at the event, please visit the
