How we began…
In 1979, Colonel Michael C. Sifton, partnered with the Heart Action Committee of Toronto for the inaugural Polo For Heart fundraiser event.
A celebrated businessman and philanthropist, Colonel Sifton is credited for the revival of polo in Toronto following WWII. An outstanding Canadian, named a member of the Order of Canada and recipient of the the Philip Iglehart Award for exceptional lifetime contributions to the sport of polo.
Today Colonel Sifton’s sons, Cliff, Mike, and Derek, act as Event Co-Chairs. Over $5 million dollars has been raised since the event began for heart and stroke related charities.
Thank You!
$150,000.00 raised in 2023
Polo For Heart is proud to announce that in 2023 “The Polo For Heart Cardiac Intensive Care Unit” was unveiled at the Southlake Regional Health Centre. Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who have helped to make this happen.
Proceeds from the 2024 event will once again go to life saving cardiac research and treatment at Southlake.
