GLENNON GALLOP 2021
Glennon Gallop | Field-Side Party
Benefiting The Danis Pediatric Center at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon
T
he 2021 Glennon Gallop, presented by T. Danis Charitable Trust, returned to August Busch Polo Club in Defiance, Mo., for an unforgettable day of fun and fundraising! Now in its ninth year, Glennon Gallop has become one of St. Louis’ most unique and sought-after events. Proceeds from the event support The Danis Pediatric Center at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. The Danis Pediatric Center is a vital resource for the St. Louis region, providing comprehensive primary pediatric care for all children, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. More than 75% of
families who call Danis Pediatrics home are living in poverty. The funds raised at Glennon Gallop ensure all the needs of Danis Pediatrics families are met, from high-quality care in a comfortable space to assistance with basic needs, such as food and diapers. Guests in the VIP tent enjoyed wines by Bommarito Wine and Spirits, a lunch buffet by LaChef Catering and an exciting live auction followed by a fast-paced polo match. Field-Side Party guests enjoyed yard games and tried their luck at the cooler of booze and bourbon raffles before taking in the polo match. The Moss Family (grateful patient family) attended to serve as judges for the Tailgating Contest. P R E S E N T E D BY:
