DIRECTIVE

Join us for an unforgettable weekend of patriotism, community, and purpose at Galloping for Glory—a signature fundraising event benefiting the Special Forces Foundation. Set on Aiken’s historic polo fields, this one-of-a-kind gathering offers a front-row seat to the timeless tradition of polo, paired with a mission that reaches far beyond the field.

Witness the beauty and excitement of the sport while standing behind a cause that honors our nation’s most elite warriors. The event will begin with a powerful tandem parachute jump during the National Anthem, setting the tone for a day dedicated to service, sacrifice, and support.

Enjoy Southern hospitality at its finest—whether you’re relaxing under the VIP pavilion or tailgating with friends. With signature cocktails, curated food and drink, and opportunities to connect with like-minded supporters, this event is more than just a social occasion—it’s a movement with a high fundraising goal and a heart for heroes.

Join us as we rally around our Special Forces heroes and ride toward a high fundraising goal—with heart, honor, and horsepower.

Together, we gallop for something greater!
