Birdies for Charity

You can help Raising Special Kids and be a part of the golf action at the FBR Open through the tournament’s Birdies for Charity Program. The 2008 FBR Open golf tournament promises to be the biggest and best in the event’s 73-year history and will feature some of the biggest names on the PGA TOUR battling it out for first place. 

The program is based on the PGA TOUR professionals making birdies – lots of them – during the 2008 FBR Open (Jan. 31 – Feb. 3 at the TPC Scottsdale). You don’t even need to be much of a golfer or a golf fan for that matter to participate in the Birdies For Charity Program. You just make a pledge for each birdie made by PGA players during the tournament and then wait for the fun to begin. You can pledge online at http://www.birdiesforcharityarizona.com/.

In addition, you have a chance to win a 2008 Buick along with 100 other great prizes just for participating! You are eligible simply by making a pledge – as little as one penny – for every birdie made by the PGA TOUR players. In recent years at the FBR Open, the PGA TOUR professionals have averaged about 1,500 birdies during tournament play. If you pledged one penny for every birdie made, your pledge would amount to $15.00.  If you pledged two cents per birdie, it would be $30.00.

Raising Special Kids receives 100% of the pledges designated to our organization. Plus, as an added bonus, Thunderbirds Charities will match 10% of the total amount of pledges we collect. So if we collect $10,000, that’s an extra $1,000 for us.

Your pledge will go a long way in helping us raise capital funds, plus, it will make you eligible to win the 2008 Buick or other great prizes! Your chances of winning are good, as all winners will be selected through random drawings from collected pledge forms. For every penny you pledge, your name will be entered into the drawings. 

The program is simple. After the tournament, Thunderbirds Charities will bill you for the amount of your pledge written on the official pledge form. The awarding of prizes will take place after the pledge collection deadline – in April 2008.
