Thank you so much to all our sponsors, particularly Lux Windows and Doors for being our VIP Tent Sponsor!
This event was made possible by the incredible community around GEMS rallying and doing everything they could to support us... I can not be more grateful to all of you!
As sponsorship offers and negotiations begin for The Gems Cup 2025, I am grounded in the fact that none of this would be possible without the INCREDIBLE team of GEMS ambassadors who heard my wild vision and stepped up to the plate to help me turn it into a reality!
From the deepest part of my heart, thank you...

They were the heartbeat and driving force day of and for a year leading up to it!
With all my heart, thank you!

2025 REVIEW!

THE GEMS CUP 2025

The Gems Cup 2025 was a day of unparalleled elegance and glamour as polo stars converge with our charity for a riveting and purpose filled day.

It was a terrific day which DOUBLED the amount raised in 2024 and we could not be more grateful to all who attended and supported from afar.

This event is not possible without an incredible team who works year round to create this experience.

The 2025 Gems Cup core team was…

Addison Muller (Co-Chair), Jessica Ludwig (Co-Chair), Greg Cooper, Danielle McMahon, Simon Burke, Linda T. Lam, Matthew Skerry, Tommy Guildford, Kendra Leslie, Brandy Mahaney, Cheryl Singuinetti, Emma Rogers Hibbard, Tori Hibbard and Jessica Hibbard

This team is comprised of GEMS Ambassadors who have given endlessly to our charity through the Gems Cup and beyond.

I am so very grateful to know them all let alone have built this incredible event with them.

Thank you and we will see you next year as the Gems Cup 2026 is already under way!

Sincerely,

Jordan Guildford,

Founder/CEO, GEMS

Don’t miss even one minute of this epic day!
Join us at 11:30am to kick off the day!
"THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT” game kicks off the day and showcases the future of the Calgary Polo Club via the young up and comers!
“CALGARY POLO CLUB LEAGUE GAME” will give you a high level introduction for what is to come!
These athletes have all been playing for many years and are aboard horses who were trained extensively prior to competing.
Viewing this game gives an opportunity to ‘get the hang’ of polo at a pace through which you can really see the ins and outs of this epic sport!
This game will not disappoint!
The “CONSOLATION GAME” will show you what ‘hockey on horseback’ really looks like!
This game will be fast paced, and a true experience of excellence in polo!
This is a treat you are not soon to forget!
Fred Mannix is an Albertan who has contributed to our province in many meaningful ways!
He is also one of the greatest polo players there is!
Fred will ride out and with the assistance of a mic, he will explain the game he loves, do trick shots and showcase some of the amazing skills he’s acquired through polo!
This is a privilege you will never forget!
The “CHAMPIONSHIP GAME” will leave you floored.
It is the epitome of sporting prowess, and will be the tournament's highlight match.
Not. To. Be. Missed.
‘THE AFTER PARTY ‘ is an exclusive level of access to celebrities, polo champions and much more!
Enjoy celebrating the events from the day with the championship winners, other polo players, influencers, and polo enthusiasts in a high energy, music and tapas filled evening!
