birdies for CHARITY
Birdies for CharityThe Principal Charity Classic presented by Wells Fargo is pleased to announce a new program called Birdies for Charity®.
 
The Principal Charity Classic was able to donate $575,000 to the "FORE Our Kids" Charities in 2007.  In an effort to generate even more support for programs that benefit local children, The Principal Charity Classic is organizing the Birdies for Charity fundraiser to allow participating organizations to collect pledges based on the number of "birdies" made during the 2008 Principal Charity Classic.  Each Participating charity will be able to keep 100% of every pledge collected on their behalf. Participating Charities
 
How does it work?

Donors can pledge either a one-time flat amount, or a per-birdie amount for every birdie made by PGA Champions Tour players during The Principal Charity Classic. 
 

Minimum flat donation - $10

Minimum per-birdie - $.02

Birdies made in 2007 - 752

 

Total pledge @ $.02 for 752 birdies = $15.04

The number of birdies can fluctuate due to unforeseeable conditions. 

 

A "birdie" is a score of one stroke better than "par" for any golf hole on the course.  "Par" is the normal expected score of a golf professional on any given hole.  For example, on a par 4 hole, a score of 3 is a birdie.  

 

Make a pledge today and do something great for kids in Central Iowa!
