The Foundation Polo Challenge Trophy was created and sponsored by Tiffany & Co. to celebrate the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club’s Centennial in 2011. The highlight of the celebration was a royal visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (better known as Prince William and Kate) and the playing of a charity polo match called The Foundation Polo Challenge. It benefited the American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, and Polo Training Center Santa Barbara.

Donated by and through the tireless efforts of the following: Ambassador and Mrs. Glen Holden, Mike and Geannie Sheller, Tiffany & Co., Adam and Michelle Butler, and the Polo Training Center Santa Barbara.
