PALM BEACH, FL – April 26, 2016 – Sentient Jet, a Directional Aviation Capital company, presented a $9,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County at the U.S. Open Polo Championship final on Sunday, April 24. The donation is part of Sentient Jet’s Soar and Score Challenge, which the company launched earlier this year as the Exclusive Private Aviation Partner of the International Polo Club Palm Beach.
“Sentient Jet is dedicated to giving back to the community,” said Andrew Collins, President and CEO of Sentient Jet. “We strongly believe in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County’s mission to promote the educational, vocational, health leadership and character of today’s youth. We are honored to be able to support such incredibly important cause.”
As part of Sentient Jet’s Soar and Score Challenge, a spectator was chosen to try his or her hand at scoring a goal during the halftime divot stomp at each Sunday polo match during the season from January 3, 2016 through the April 24, 2016 final. Sentient pledged to donate $1,000 to charity on behalf of each contestant with enough prowess to succeed, presenting a total of $9,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and $7,000 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on behalf of 16 winners for the season.
