Every year, the Rotary Club of Newport sponsors the Newport Polo Club and the Newport International Polo Series by hosting a charity Polo match, and publishing the Polo Magazine.
The Charity Polo Match is a fun scrimmage where attendees set up picnics and tailgates, and get to learn about the sport of Polo with via expert commentary geared towards those new to Polo.
The Polo Magazine is distributed all spring and summer long. It is distributed alongside Newport This week at all of their major locations on Aquidneck Island. It also serves as the program for all spectators attending any polo matches throughout the season. The magazine details the game, the club, and the series. It gives biographies of all of the players in the club. In recent years, we have begun to include content about Rotary, with a focus on the difference that local and nearby Rotary clubs are making in our communities.
This magazine raises funds through advertisement. Local businesses and organizations gain unparalleled exposure for their advertising dollar due to the long duration and wide distribution of the publication.
