Thunderbirds Charities Looking for "Birdies for Charity" Participants

The Thunderbirds, hosts of the FBR Open, and Thunderbirds Charities are looking for Arizona-based nonprofits to participate in the 2006 FBR Open Birdies For Charity program. The 2005 program raised more than $800,000 for Arizona charities. Here's how it works:

Participating charities solicit pledges of one cent, two cents, a dollar, etc. per birdie, and pledge forms are returned to the Thunderbirds. After the 2006 FBR Open (Jan. 30 – Feb. 5), the total number of birdies will be calculated and Thunderbird Charities will mail invoices to those who pledged. Example: 1 cent pledged x 1,400 birdies = $14.00 pledge to the charity. After pledges are collected, Thunderbirds Charities will cut a check for the entire amount collected to the charity who obtained the pledge. The Thunderbirds supply all the marketing materials. As an added incentive, all pledges are automatically entered into a random drawing for a 2006 Buick and 100 other great prizes.
