2012 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 & Spa Resort from March 12-18, 2012.
The Transitions Championship is pleased to announce the launch of our 2012 Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities program.
Our Birdies program continues to lead the PGA TOUR in terms of Bonus Pool dollars donated.
Bonus Pool rules for 2012 include:
- The Bonus Pool for the 2012 Transitions Championship Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities will guarantee a 10% Bonus Pool payment on the first $1.5 million in paid pledges/donations received. All paid pledges received after we reach $1.5 million in paid pledges will be forwarded to the benefiting charity. The last day for payments to be received and accepted for the 2012 Birdies for Tampa Bay Charities program will be April 20, 2012. All payments received after April 20, 2012 will be forwarded to the benefiting charity.
- There is no minimum level of paid pledges to participate in the Bonus Pool. Maximum paid pledges that qualify for the Bonus Pool is $100,000 from any one charity or for an umbrella charity.

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.
Pledge Cards, posters and handbooks will be available for pick-up in the Transitions Championship Tournament Office beginning Wednesday, September 15. Information can be picked up from 9:00-5:00 PM Monday thru Friday.
Please let me know what I can do to assist your charity!!!!
