    Windsor’s highly anticipated 2022 Windsor Charity Polo Cup announces its esteemed sponsors along with the rising fourth-generation polo player, Hope Arellano, to play at its February charity cup.

    Hope Arellano has taken the game of polo by storm. She is recognized as one of the most talented female polo players in the world. She plays in low, medium, and high-goal tournaments in both mixed and women’s tournaments and travels around the country competing. She is the youngest woman to ever win the Women’s U.S. Open in 2017 at the Houston Polo Club at the age of 14 and this year she played her first Women’s Argentine Open and was raised to a handicap of 9 in that country. She is currently being trialed to compete for the U.S. National team in next October’s FIP World Championships. She would be the first woman to compete at that level if she makes the team.

    “This year’s polo event will be unlike any other. We are thrilled to have the exceptionally talented, Hope Arellano, as a player on one of our teams, not to mention the outstanding lineup of sponsors who have joined us in supporting this worthy cause,” said Max Secunda, Director of Equestrian Operations at Windsor and the event’s Match Director.

    Presented by PNC Bank and co-chaired by The Hon. Hilary M. Weston and Salvatore Ferragamo, the Windsor Charity Polo Cup is recognized as the premier charity sporting event of the season in Vero Beach. The 2022 event will raise funds for two local environmentally focused charities – the Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA) and the Environmental Learning Center (ELC). Net proceeds of the event will be donated equally to both charities in support of their respective causes.

    Signature corporate sponsors include NetJets, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi of Melbourne, Belle Cose, Paul Morelli, L3 Harris, CBRE, J.McLaughlin, GHO Homes, JUSTIN Wines, Lanson Champagne and Beluga Vodka. Numerous Windsor Members have also generously sponsored the event. The family-friendly day will include a variety of interactive events and exhibitions to showcase the various sponsors’ offerings.

    The weekend’s festivities begin with the Players Reception Cocktail Party the evening before the event on February 18, 2022. This intimate affair is attended by signature sponsors, polo players and other VIP guests. The following day, more than 500 guests will enjoy an elegant reception, Junior Player Match followed by a luncheon and the game’s opening ceremonies. Performing the National Anthem will be Vero Beach High School junior and Riverside Theatre singer and actor, Kristina Gregg.

    For a more casual experience, 90 cars will fill the themed Tailgate section. In honor of the event’s beneficiaries, the 2022 Tailgate theme is Celebrating Planet Earth. Prizes will be awarded based on creativity and educational messaging.

    Guests can also enjoy participating in a high-end raffle, viewing the People’s Choice Concours presented by The Space Coast Region Porsche Club of America, shopping in the Specialty Retail Village and socializing in the various hospitality tent setups.

    As the Luxury Automobile Sponsor, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi of Melbourne will be returning this year to display its notable car brands’ top luxury models during the Player Reception Cocktail Party. Sponsor representatives will also drive a selection of cars onto the field to deliver the players pre-match and will return to the field during the iconic half-time Divot Stomp.

    NetJets, the event’s Private Aviation Sponsor, will host a hospitality area in the main pavilion. For an interactive experience for the guests, NetJets will have a mock-up of the Cessna Citation Longitude business jet on display for participants to tour.

    The four beverage sponsors will showcase their respective offerings during the polo event. Beluga Vodka is contributing its renowned vodka for the event’s Signature Cocktail, aptly titled “The Mallet.” As the exclusive Champagne Sponsor, Lanson Champagne is donating its Pére & Fils Brut to be poured at the luncheon and at a players’ toast during the awards ceremony.  In addition to Lanson’s champagne, the luncheon will feature the world-class Bordeaux-style wines donated by JUSTIN Wines. Royal Salute will also contribute its exceptional Scotch Whisky for a tasting at the Players Reception.

    Belle Cose and Paul Morelli return as the Luxury Jeweler Co-Sponsors for the event. The two brands have jointly donated Paul Morelli’s one-of-a-kind Dragonfly Necklace, featuring a 1.58 carat white diamond, 1.44 carat multi-color sapphire and .21 carat tsavorite set in platinum, valued at $23,000. The statement piece will serve as the feature item in the charity event’s prestigious raffle. In addition, the brands will also be in the event’s Specialty Retail Village.

    Local artist Dr. Johnson Hagood will be serving as this year’s Official Commemorative Poster Artist. An accomplished oil and acrylic artist, Dr. Hagood has donated one of his works titled The Match, an acrylic painting capturing the excitement and intensity of the sport of polo. The piece will be auctioned off at the charity event luncheon. With a steady hand and artistic talent, it is no surprise that Dr. Hagood is also a highly skilled restorative and cosmetic dentist with a thriving practice in Vero Beach.

    Windsor announces that JUSTIN, a world-class winery located in Paso Robles in the heart of California, will contribute its refreshing Bordeaux-style varieties to the 2022 Windsor Charity Polo Cup Luncheon being held on Saturday, February 19, 2022.

    The esteemed vineyards and winery will be donating three signature wines to the luncheon.

    Each wine was picked to pair fittingly with the luncheon tastings, which will include a carefully crafted menu featuring a filet mignon and lobster dish followed by a raspberry cheesecake.

    Attended by more than 500 guests, the highly anticipated luncheon will be emceed by TV personality John Walsh and will include speeches from the event’s Honorary Co-Chair Salvatore Ferragamo and legendary British polo player and coach Julian Hipwood, among others. The luncheon will also include a signature toast to the players and sponsors involved.

    “As the founder of JUSTIN and a Member of Windsor, I am honored to donate three of our wines to such a celebrated event to raise funds for two important local causes. The Charity Polo Cup is a highly sought-after event within the community, and we are honored to now be a part of it,” said Justin Baldwin, Founder of JUSTIN Wines.

    Presented by PNC Bank, the Windsor Charity Polo Cup is recognized as the premier charity sporting event of the season in Vero Beach. In addition to world-class polo, the event showcases an array of interactive events and exhibitions including an elegant luncheon, themed tailgate, specialty retail village, luxury automobile concours and a high-end raffle.

    Windsor is pleased to announce Dr. Johnson Hagood as its Official Commemorative Poster Artist for the 2022 Windsor Charity Polo Cup.

    An accomplished artist, Dr. Hagood paints with oils and acrylics in a vibrant color palette using both brush and palette knife. He is self-taught, having painted with oils since childhood. With a steady hand and artistic talent, it is no surprise that Dr. Hagood is also a highly skilled restorative and cosmetic dentist with a thriving practice in Vero Beach.

    Painting in a distinctive impressionistic style, Hagood’s subjects include serene natural landscapes, still life, to high energy works depicting polo ponies in action. His paintings have a sense of timelessness in nature, as if he has captured the very moment nature has reached the pinnacle of its beauty.

    Hagood says his style is influenced by some of the acclaimed impressionist artists such as Matisse, Barnard and Monet. Most recently, he has been inspired by the contemporary works of French artist Jean Claude Roy and Dutch artist Frits Van Eeden, implementing more abstract applications to some of his latest works. Dr. Hagood’s work can be found on display at the Artists Guild Gallery in Vero Beach’s Historic Downtown Arts District.

    “Over the last few years, I have become very interested in painting scenes from the thrilling sport of polo and particularly the Windsor Charity Polo Cup,” Dr. Hagood stated. “The featured painting was inspired by several of the photos television personality John Walsh – who has been involved in the event since its inception – provided me. I feel truly blessed to play a part in the 2022 Polo Cup.”

    Titled The Match, the 30” x 30” acrylic painting captures the excitement and intensity of the sport of polo. The piece will be auctioned off at the charity event luncheon, with silent bids beginning at the Players Cocktail Reception on Friday, February 18, 2022, the evening before the polo match.

    A native of North Carolina, Dr. Hagood earned a B.S. degree in Biology from East Carolina University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. His professional achievements are numerous, making him one of the highest credentialed dentists in the United States.

    “Dr. Hagood has been a supporter of the Windsor Charity Polo Cup for many years,” said Jane Smalley, Marketing Director for Windsor. “We were thrilled when he offered to donate this beautiful work inspired by our biennial polo match and expect it to be a very popular auction item.”

    Dr. Hagood will attend the February event and be on hand to sign posters. He will also hold a pop-up gallery in the event’s Specialty Retail Village showcasing a selection of his works available for purchase. A percentage of all sales will also go to the event’s charities.

    Co-chaired by the Hon. Hilary M. Weston and Salvatore Ferragamo, the Windsor Charity Polo Cup is recognized as the premier high-goal charity polo match of the Vero Beach season. Taking place on Saturday, February 19, 2022, on Windsor’s polo grounds, the event will feature a roster of top-level international players. Funds raised will benefit two local environmentally focused charities. Net proceeds will be divided equally between the Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA) and the Environmental Learning Center (ELC).

In 1961 he launched his career by acquiring and expanding supermarkets and department stores in Ireland. In 1972 he returned to Canada to take charge of Loblaw, a struggling chain of grocery stores that George Weston Limited had controlled since 1947. Over more than four decades of hard work and team effort, Galen led the transformation of Loblaw from near-bankruptcy to what is now Canada’s leading retailer, including the creation of President’s Choice, the launch of PC Financial, and the acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart.

    Concurrently, Galen brought his vision, imagination, and energy to creating Selfridges Group, a collection of iconic department stores, through the acquisition of Brown Thomas and Arnotts in Ireland, Holt Renfrew and Ogilvy in Canada, Selfridges in the UK, and de Bijenkorf in the Netherlands.

    He had a keen eye for real estate, creating Canada’s leading real estate investment trust, Choice Properties, as well as transforming the Oxford Street neighbourhood surrounding Selfridges’s London store.

    Galen’s success in business was rooted in his values as a person. With a sense of duty to build upon the legacy of his father and grandfather as entrepreneurs and community leaders, he believed strongly that business was about more than the bottom line. The pleasure he took from getting to know individuals from all walks of life reflected his conviction that people are the foundation of any successful enterprise. And, with infectious optimism and insatiable curiosity, his greatest gift was his ability to inspire others to achieve more than they thought possible.

    Amid his endless enthusiasm for business, Galen always made time for his other passions. Among them, a lifelong commitment to philanthropy through the Weston Family Foundation, and the time spent with family and good friends who were so central to his life.

    He will be sorely missed by Hilary. Through 55 years of a deeply loving marriage, they worked as a team in the expansion of the luxury department stores and the development of Windsor, an acclaimed residential community in Florida. They were especially proud of her five years of public service as Ontario’s 26th lieutenant governor. But nothing gave them more gratification than their two children, both of whom have risen so commendably to the challenges Galen passed on to them after his retirement in 2016.

    The family would like to extend their thanks to Pavi Binning, to Dr. Zubina Mawji, Dr. Sandra Black and Dr. Dermot O’Flynn, to nurses Patriz Lopez and Louise Gregoire, to caregiver Sultanah Khan and to Marianne Surmann. They also wish to recognize the many other dedicated individuals who supported Galen at home.

    A celebration of Galen’s life will be held in Toronto at a later date.

    In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Foundation, or a charity of your choice.

    The Gallery at Windsor, an independent art space within Vero Beach’s private Windsor luxury residential community, presents an exclusive exhibit of works by monumental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude from The Weston Collection.

    Throughout their lives, Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and his wife and artistic partner, Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, created a series of large-scale environmental artworks in urban and rural sites worldwide. The couple’s projects heralded the first wave of installation art, a practice that extends to the present and predominates much of contemporary artmaking. Notable, internationally renowned projects include Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin; Valley Curtain, Rifle, Colorado; The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Paris and Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Miami.

    About two dozen works depicting projects created between the 1960s and 1990s are now on display in The Gallery at Windsor, which is a small portion of the private collection of W. Galen and Hilary Weston, founders of the Windsor community.

    “Large in scale, the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude often involved the collaboration of so many people making them far from private, yet they were often so personal,” said Jonathan Henery, studio manager and the artists’ nephew. “This exhibit at Windsor is intended to create a new relationship with contemporary art and challenge the perception of the locations in each piece. These works will outlive us, as does art in general, and pay tribute to both Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s legacy.”

    Showcased among the preparatory drawings and collages on display in The Gallery at Windsor are recognized projects of Christo and Jeanne-Claude including The Umbrellas, Japan, and U.S.A.; Wrapped Trees, Riehen, Switzerland; Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Florida; Valley Curtain, Rifle, Colorado; and The Gates, Central Park, New York. The selection also includes a number of works depicting the artists’ unrealized projects and photographs of completed works in situ, dating from the 1960s to late 1990s.

    Christo passed away in May 2020. Jeanne-Claude preceded him in death in 2009. Christo once stated that the purpose of their artworks – visually impressive and often controversial due to their scale – was to create joy and beauty and encourage new ways of seeing familiar landscapes.

    The exhibition will be on display for Windsor members only at The Gallery until April 30, 2021. For more information visit windsorflorida.com.

    About the Artists
    Christo, who was born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, and Jeanne-Claude, originally from Morocco of a French military family, seemed destined to live and create together, as they were born on the same day in 1935. Christo studied art in Sofia, Bulgaria, and in Prague. Jeanne-Claude studied Latin and philosophy in Tunis. They met in Paris in 1958 and went on to create an impressive body of monumental, deliberately temporary works together. Jeanne-Claude died, aged 74, on November 18, 2009. Until his own recent death on May 31, 2020, at age 84, Christo continued to work under both the artists’ names. Throughout their 51-year relationship, they paid all expenses associated with their artworks, including planning, construction, and de-construction, entirely from the sale of Christo’s preliminary drawings, early works from the 1950s and 1960s and lithographs. They accepted no contributions, grants or other financial assistance, preferring to make their decisions separate from any potential influence of financial backers. Their works involved years of planning, meetings and hearings held by governments and communities for approval of their projects. The artists’ works are held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée d’art modern et d’art contemporain in Nice, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among others.

    On Saturday, February 15, 2020, Windsor co-founder The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, alongside Salvatore Ferragamo, co-hosted the fifth biennial Windsor Charity Polo Cup in support of three local community charities. Windsor donated a total of $333,000.00 in net proceeds to be divided equally between the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County, the Literacy Services of Indian River County and the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County. Each charity will receive $111,000.00. Following the widely successful event, Windsor is honored to announce that this year’s Charity Polo Cup raised the highest amount of charitable dollars in the event’s history.

    “We are humbled to announce the tremendous success of the 2020 Windsor Charity Polo Cup event,” said Betsy Hanley, President of Windsor. “Not only was it one of our most thrilling polo matches, but the funds we were able to raise for our three beneficiaries are all thanks to the generosity of our supportive Members, our sponsors and the Vero Beach community.”

    Presented by PNC Bank, the event featured a world-class roster of international players and an array of festivities that drew an attendance of close to 2,000 people. The two teams competed in one of the highest scoring matches in the event’s history, with the final score 11-8 for team Hawthorne PNC Family Wealth, captained by Ferragamo, emerging triumphant for his first ever win at the event. More than 800 attendees enjoyed the match at an elegant luncheon in the field-side marquee, while other spectators watched on picnicking in the tailgating area or viewed the match from grandstand seating. Television’s John Walsh, host of ID’s In Pursuit with John Walsh and a regular supporter of the biennial event, served as the luncheon’s Emcee.

    In addition to an enthralling main polo match event, attendees of the Windsor Charity Polo Cup also enjoyed a remarkable junior match, a Specialty Retail Village featuring a curated selection of pop-up boutiques and the popular Chateau d’Esclans’ Whispering Angel pop-up bar at the center of the shopping experience. Also, as part of the festivities, the event was host to a themed tailgate competition co-judged by National Media Sponsor Town & Country Editor-in-Chief, Stellene Volandes, Vero Beach Museum of Art Executive Director/CEO, Brady Roberts, and Everyday Elegance interior decorator, Alex Papachristidis.

    The 2020 Windsor Charity Polo Cup was supported by both national and local sponsors. Luxury brand and corporate sponsors include PNC Bank, Torwest, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Audi of Melbourne, CBRE, Laurent-Perrier, Chateau d’Esclans, Casa Dragones, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Co., Sysco, Town & Country magazine and Vero Beach magazine, among others.
