As you probably already know I’m a part of a MOPS group (Mother’s of Preschoolers) here in the Spring area and I love it. Every year we have a fundraiser which helps support our MOPS group as well as our community outreach programs. We’re working with the Shell Houston Open this year to raise money. The fabulous part is that 100% of the pledges/donations go to our MOPS group, yay!
Birdies for Charity is structured so that you donate a certain amount of money per birdie made during the course of the 5 days of the Shell Houston Open. Last year over 1700 birdies were made during the tournament. So, if you pledge to donate $.01 per birdie that would equal a $17.00 donation. If you pledge $.05 per birdie then that equals to an $85 donation. You can pledge whatever amount you want per birdie or make a flat donation.
One awesome part of Birdies for Charity is that for a $.01/birdie pledge you get one guess at the total number of birdies to be made during the tournament. The number of guesses you get goes up depending upon what you pledge. The person who guesses the exact number of birdies will win a CAR! There area also other incentives such as free passes, exclusive tent access, etc. for different pledge levels.
Only pledges are made at this time. After the Shell Houston Open is completed they’ll send a statement to you and payment can be made at that time…and yes, it’s tax deductible!
If you would like me to mail a brochure to you please let me know and I’ll get it off to you this week! Thanks!
