2011 Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities
What is Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities?
Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities is a fundraising program designed to give participating charities the opportunity to generate contributions for their organization based on the number of "birdies" made by contestants during the TRANSITIONS CHAMPIONSHIP (a PGA TOUR event). The tournament will be at Innisbrook, A Salamander Golf & Span Resort from March 14-20, 2011.
Any 501(c)(3) charity can participate. Charities can:
- Receive a donation equal to 100% of the money that the individual charity raises.
- Participate in the Bonus Pool. There is no minimum level of paid pledges to participate in the Bonus Pool. Maximum paid pledges that qualify for the Bonus Pool is $75,000 from any one charity or $150,000 for an umbrella charity.
The Bonus Pool for 2011 will be determined before the program starts in late summer
How can your charity sign up to participate?
- Fill out the Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities OFFICIAL COMMITMENT FORM
- ALL FLIGHT LEADERS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A FORM AT REGISTRATION AGREEING TO ABIDE BY ALL RULES.
- Provide a copy of the IRS letter that confirms your organization’s 501(c)(3) status at registration.
Each organization is responsible for imprinting its name, flight leader name, and flight number on each pledge card so each pledge can be properly credited in our database. We suggest that you do this before pledge cards leave your office. You may run pledge cards through printers, copy machines, make mailing labels or use a rubber stamp. You will be given a flight leader number upon registering.
Charities that have previously registered will retain their same flight number.
Thank you for your interest in the TRANSITIONS Championship Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities program. We truly believe that this can generate significant dollars for your organization.
