The 3rd Annual Courage Cup charity polo match will be held this year on Saturday, June 17th, and sales are well underway! A great party for a worthy cause, the Courage Cup's inaugural appearance at the new polo facilities at Great Meadow is shaping up to be an outing like no other.  

This year Capitol File magazine is hosting the Golden Mallet VIP Tent. Overlooking the polo field, the VIP Tent has the best view of the action and features first rate catering and a full offering of beverages. Choose the "Bus Transportation + VIP Tent Pass" option above for the special combination price being made to guests and friends of University Row at the Virginia Gold Cup for a limited time.

If you want to bring your own picnic—or if you are attending a friend's tailgate and will not be visiting the VIP Tent—choose the "Bus Transportation Only" option.

Guests are encouraged to arrive at the Clarendon Grill for check-in at 10:30am. Buses will leave no later than 11:15am.

Hosts of the 2006 Courage Cup include: Page Archer, Seda Atam, John Barnett, Rachel Berbeza, Annie Brady, Kelly Ann Collins, Jennifer Renee Doherty, Brigitte Donner, Paul Faust, John Fedewa, Wesley Fricks, Koonal Gandhi, Sarah Gell, John Goodwin, Mike Gula, Alexa Johnson, Krista Johnson, Anna Kimsey, Megan MacCutheon, Todd Mack, Keri Ann Meslar, Lindsey Mitchell, Charlie Muldoon, Kristyn Noeth, Adam Norton, Nancy Margaret Ray, Ray Regan, Joe Reblando, Andrea Rodgers, Virginia Skroski, Scott Spencer, Ryan Triplette, and Miriam Warren.
