April 19, 2008
WELLINGTON, FL– The International Polo Club Palm Beach recently removed all boundaries for its biggest celebration of the year “The Sky's the Limit” Polo Ball, chaired by Marc and Melissa Ganzi, patrons of the Audi polo team, as well as equestrians, Michele Grubb, Jack Saunders and Cardie and Carol Saunders.

“The event was a huge success,” said Melissa Ganzi, who was the only female to play in April's quarterfinal round of the 2008 Stanford U.S. Open Polo Championship. “I'm so grateful for everyone who supported this event and my team this season.”
The Polo Ball marks the end of the equestrian season and coincides with the Stanford U.S. Open Polo Championship, the biggest and most prestigious polo tournament in the United States.
The Sky's the Limit was held under the Ocean Drive Grand Marquee, which transformed into Club Sky, a fantasy club featuring music by Soul Survivors, performers, dancers, actors, costumes and surprises.
The colorful chic event attracted some of the world's top businesspersons including John Goodman, chairman of Goodman Manufacturing and founder of International Polo and developer and Equestrian Club owner Mark Bellissimo. |
