The Principal Charity Classic's "Birdies for Charity" raises funds for organizations --including ChildServe--that help children. You can either make a flat donation amount or pledge a per-birdie pledge of $0.02 or more. Based on the number of birdies hit during the Principal Charity Classic in the past (approximately 800), a pledge of $0.02 would be approximately $16.

What is Birdies for Charity?
A fundraising opportunity for ChildServe and other children’s charities where donors submit pledges based on the number of birdies made by PGA Champions Tour players during the 3-day Principal Charity Classic. Participating organizations will keep 100% of the pledges collected on their behalf.

How Does it Work?

You can make a flat donation or a pledge based on the number of birdies you think will be made during the entire tournament. In golf, a “birdie” is a score of one stroke better than “par” for any golf hole on the golf course. Last year, there were 787 birdies made.
