Birdies for Charity is a fun and easy way to make a donation to Save Our Shores!  Similar to a walk-a-thon it is a pledge drive based on the total number of birdies made by PGA TOUR professionals during the 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament, Feb. 11-14, 2010.

Great prizes, too! The lucky person who guesses correctly before the contest closes on February 10th, 2009 will win two Continental Airline Tickets worth up to $500 each.  Plus other great prizes for anyone who enters.

For a pledge form, go to the Pebble Beach Website and be sure to designate Save Our Shores!
