Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia is proud to present the 2026 Sherman Memorial Arena Polo Tournament, benefiting children with critical illnesses in the Charlottesville area.

Taking place on Friday, July 17, 2026, at King Family Vineyards, this one-of-a-kind summer arena polo experience will bring the community together in support of Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia's life-changing mission.

Make-A-Wish® Greater Virginia believes in the transformative power of hope. When a wish is granted, fear is replaced with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with renewed strength. Each wish unites medical professionals, volunteers, donors, wish families, and community partners around one shared goal: improving the lives of children facing critical illnesses. With your support, we can continue to make unforgettable wishes come true for children across the Commonwealth.

Guests of the Sherman Memorial Arena Polo Tournament will enjoy exciting arena polo matches set against the beautiful backdrop of King Family Vineyards, along with local wish stories, community camaraderie, and meaningful opportunities to support Make-A-Wish through event sponsorships and giving.

Support our mission by becoming a tournament sponsor or by making a meaningful contribution. Every gift brings us one step closer to granting more life-changing wishes to children who need them most.
