The Southwest PGA Foundation is pleased to announce this year's Birdies for Good fundraiser on Friday, September 6, 2024.
In cooperation with more than a dozen local Southwest PGA golf professionals, I need your help as we strive to raise dollars and awareness for a very deserving cause in our community. This event has been created as a way for us to utilize the great game that has provided each of us with so much as a way to give back to the community and those in need.
This year's "Birdies for Good" day will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Southwest PGA Foundation: Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) provides essential support and comfort to children and their families who are receiving treatment at world-renowned pediatric centers across the metro areas where we are hosting events. By visiting their website, you can learn more about the myriad ways RMHC makes a difference in the lives of those in need during difficult times. Southwest PGA Foundation supports our youth programs and PGA HOPE veteran-centric initiatives. The Southwest PGA Foundation is dedicated to making a lasting impact in our communities through various initiatives. Our youth programs and Special Olympics focus on providing educational opportunities, life skills development, and access to golf, helping them build confidence and achieve their full potential. PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is a program that uses golf as a therapeutic tool to enhance veterans' physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Many veterans who participate in PGA HOPE have reported significant improvements in their quality of life, including reduced symptoms of PTSD, decreased feelings of isolation, and improved physical health. PGA HOPE has saved lives by providing a supportive community and a positive outlet, giving veterans a renewed sense of purpose and hope.
Thank you to Generation Golf for hosting "Birdies for Good" at Dorado Golf Club in Tucson, AZ. On this day, [PARTNER] and I will participate, along with my fellow PGA professionals, by playing 72 holes to make as many birdies and eagles as possible. I am seeking pledges from individuals and companies for every birdie and eagle that we make (note: one eagle is equivalent to two birdies). Our goal is to make between eighteen and thirty-six birdies during the event.
The Southwest PGA Foundation has created a unique website at https://birdiesforgood.org/SC24/ that will accept your contribution. Making your pledge via credit card on this website is easy and safe and provides a fun way for you to track our progress before and during the event. Simply, CLICK HERE or the link below to take you to the webpage. Your pledge will not be processed until the completion of the event.
Please feel free to call or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions regarding our "Birdies for Good" initiative. I would be happy to chat with you about this important initiative we are undertaking. We are all taught that often the best way to say thank you is to pay it forward. The game of golf has provided me with such wonderful opportunities and experiences. We appreciate your consideration in supporting us.
