What is Birdies For Charity?
The Thunderbirds and title sponsor Waste Management have an exciting way for Arizona’s charities to cash-in on the birdies made during the competitive rounds of the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open. The program titled Birdies For Charity has two separate components – the Waste Management Phoenix Open Arizona Charity Pledge Drive component and the Corporate Partners component – both geared towards raising thousands of additional dollars for Arizona charities.
Arizona Charity Pledge Drive
The Arizona Charity Pledge Drive component of Birdies For Charity invites Arizona-based 501C3 organizations to involve the community in a pledge drive program based on the total number of birdies made during the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Anyone can fill-out a pledge form and pledge one cent or more per birdie to be a part of the program. No funds will be collected by the participating charities. The Thunderbirds will invoice those who filled out pledge forms following the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open and collect all monies. 100 percent of the collected Birdies For Charity pledges will go directly to the soliciting charity.
The following is a list of the charities who are participating in the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open Birdies For Charity Program.
