Half-price tickets for carloads of polo match fans at the ‘Care to Learn’ fundraiser

The “Stirrups for Students: Charity Polo to Benefit Care to Learn” event will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 6 at the Blue Heron Farm, 4020 Benne Road in Defiance.

Care to Learn was founded in 2008 by Springfield businessman, Doug Pitt, with support from his brother, actor Brad Pitt.

The Pitt brothers had grown up in the region and Doug still lives in the area with his family. Learning of the high incidence of extreme poverty in his own hometown, Doug shared the challenge with family and friends and founded Care to Learn.

Since then, Care to Learn has funded 500,000 individual children’s health, hunger, and hygiene needs.

Now in the St. Charles, Wentzville, and Hazelwood districts in our region, Care to Learn St. Louis is hosting a charity fundraiser. This fun-filled day (for all ages) will have a polo match at the Blue Heron Farm in Defiance.
