Chip in and everybody wins
When you chip in to Birdies for Charity, tournament area charities are the real winners.The Partner Program provides individuals and companies with additional incentives to make its charitable contributions through the Birdies for Charity program. Partners make a straight dollar donation rather than a pledge based on the number of birdies made, as is the case with individual donors.
Keep in mind, your charity will receive 100 percent of your donation because all promotion and administrative costs are covered by John Deere. (Actually, they'll get more than 100 percent! See the Birdies for Charity Fund information).
You may designate one charity or split your donation between numerous charities. All charities must be pre-approved by the John Deere Classic Charitable Corporation. You may also contribute to the Birdies for Charity Fund, benefiting ALL participating charities.
