Chukkers for Charity Recap: A Winning Day for the Community in Franklin
Medical House Calls was honored to serve as the presenting sponsor of Chukkers for Charity as the beloved event returned to Franklin for its 29th year on September 6, 2025. With perfect weather, an exciting polo match, and strong community turnout, the event delivered an unforgettable afternoon in support of Rochelle Center and Saddle Up!.
A Picture-Perfect Polo Afternoon
After early rain cleared, Riverview Farm set the stage for a fantastic match and a festive crowd. Spectators cheered as the competition unfolded, culminating in a hard-fought victory led by MVP Aaron Barrett. The energy on and off the field reflected what Chukkers for Charity does best—pairing high-level sport with meaningful philanthropy.
Event co-chairs Falon Veit Scott, Brittany Haugh, and Ben Swann—alongside a dedicated group of volunteers—helped guide one of the largest-grossing events in Chukkers’ history, underscoring the strength of community support behind the cause.
Fiesta on the Field: A Celebration With Style
This year’s “Fiesta on the Field” theme brought vibrant color, music, and flavor to the grounds. From themed tailgating setups to decorated VIP cabanas, guests embraced the spirit with creative displays and festive attire. Attendees enjoyed signature cocktails, lively entertainment, and a silent auction featuring unique items—from artwork to rare spirits.
As tradition dictates, halftime brought everyone onto the field for the divot stomp, followed by family-friendly activities and a stick-horse race that delighted guests of all ages.
Impact Beyond the Field
Since 1996, Chukkers for Charity has raised more than $3 million to support Rochelle Center and Saddle Up!, organizations dedicated to serving adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The 2025 event continued that legacy, bringing together sponsors, patrons, players, and attendees who share a commitment to making a difference.
Medical House Calls is proud to support Franklin and the broader Middle Tennessee community. As Stu Jones, Senior VP of Clinical Services, shared during the event, supporting causes that uplift local families has been a core part of the company’s mission since its founding.
Thank You, Franklin
From the opening ceremony to the final trophy presentation, Chukkers for Charity once again showcased the best of Franklin—community, generosity, and celebration. We’re grateful to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this year’s event, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Rochelle Center and Saddle Up! for years to come.
