Teen Cancer America, a national nonprofit organization founded by rock musicians Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend from The Who, will host Rock ‘n Polo V at Will Rogers State Historic Park on Saturday, June 15, at 12:30 p.m. and tickets are on sale now.
The event raises funds and awareness for the TCA mission, which develops specialized facilities and services for teens and young adults fighting cancer.
“Don your sun dresses, hats and dapper bow ties, and join Teen Cancer America for an afternoon polo match, family activities, live music, and a gourmet lunch and desserts,” according to the organization.
The event is set to feature music by Ryan Ellis and iHeart DJ Von Bellows. Children are invited to participate in the Kids Stick Pony Race, as well as an Activity Meadow, complete with henna hand painting, a visit from puppies of A Purposeful Rescue, a silent auction and raffle, and more.
“The charity works to bring young people with cancer together to show them that there’s support and people that care,” Michelle Aland, director of development and partnerships for TCA, said of the event in 2022. “The event is to raise funds for the charity … and then to also raise awareness.”
The event takes place at Will Rogers Polo Club at the park.
“It’s a really lovely event where parents can go and have a great day, and watch polo and have a nice glass of wine, and then the young people have a safe place to play and enjoy the day,” Aland continued.
All ages are welcome. Tickets are $10 for children ages 2 to 5; $20 for ages 6 to 18; and $120 for adults. VIP tickets, with VIP table seating, are available for $700.
