Cintron Pink Polo launched at Val de Vie Estate in Cape Town in 2010 as the brainchild of a dynamic and passionate group of women standing in unity to create a vocal platform for breast cancer awareness in our nation. After 9 years, the purpose behind the polo event will continue to pay tribute to the survivors of breast cancer and serves as a platform to raise awareness for a disease that is most prevalent in women, but also affects a high number of men.

Guests enjoyed a day in the picturesque Winelands filled with all things pink and polo-inspired, with many memorably moments. The event paid tribute to survivors of breast cancer and serves as a platform to raise awareness for a disease that is most prevalent in women, but also affects a high number of men. For the first time in the history of this event, the Children Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC) were supported from the Pink Food Truck Fair area where ticket sales were donated to CHOC.

Rolene Strauss, Former Miss World and a qualified medical doctor, joined by Katlego Maboe from Expresso Morning Show on SABC 3, were Masters of Ceremonies for the event ensuring that all guests felt welcome and entertained throughout the day.
