Make a pledge to Hartford Habitat through
 Birdies for Charity!

 

On average, the PGA TOUR professionals make between 1,500-2,000 birdies during the tournament. 

 

A birdie is a score of one stroke better than par for any golf hole. If an individual pledges 1 cent and 1,500 birdies are made, than that individual will be asked to make a donation of $15.00 to Hartford Habitat.
