Polo stars raise founds for Fundación Laureus Argentina

On Sunday 24th, 2007 Marcos Gilligan (Bodegas Nieto Senetiner) gently invited us to be present at "IWC-Laureus Polo Cup", an event organized to raise funds for "Fundación Laureus Argentina". We had the privilege to meet Argentinian sports stars like Eduardo Heguy who took part of the event and the Rugby legend and President of the “Fundación Laureus Argentina” Hugo Porta.
Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova and Daley Thompson, Laureus World Sports Academy members were also present at the event.

We were delighted to talk with Hugo Porta and learn that the Fundación Laureus Argentina is currently supporting the San Isidro Development Project in Buenos Aires with sports activity sessions and educational workshops in an area where crime, drugs, alcohol, violence and firearms use is prevalent, and the West City Project in Mendoza, using football and hockey to address crime, delinquency and drug abuse and promoting community regeneration.
