Central Texas Medical Center Foundation invites you to swing big for the little ones through Birdies for Charity®, an exciting fundraising program linked to the Valero Texas Open, which is the 3rd oldest tournament on the PGA TOUR schedule.
CTMC will receive 100% of every penny raised through its Birdies for Charity® involvement. Proceeds raised from the event will be earmarked for the new Level II Neonatal Critical Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at CTMC, which is slated to open late 2009. The NICU will ensure parents with pre-term, low-birth-weight and/or critically-ill infants will receive highly-specialized medical care right here in San Marcos.
Donors may make a minimum pledge of one penny per birdie. The value of the pledge is based on the number of birdies made during the Valero Texas Open. A flat contribution may be made with $20 being the requested minimum. Businesses may also contribute using the same method. Any individual or corporation that pledges $1 or more per birdie, before April 17, becomes a member of a special Birdies Club.
All donors of at least one penny for each birdie or at least $20, are also invited to attend the Birdies for Charity Golf Skills Challenge at Quail Creek Golf Course in San Marcos. The event will be held on Friday, April 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Enjoy food from Cancun Robs and a Callaway demonstration as you try your skill at six golf challenges for men and women, with $1,200 in prizes. To reserve your spot in the Skills Challenge please contact Jerilyn Miller, CTMC Foundation Coordinator at (512) 753-3687 or email Jerilyn.miller@ahss.org by April 15.
To add sizzle to the program, you can guess how many birdies will be made during the Valero Texas Open. If your guess is correct, you could win a new Buick Enclave. Even if you don’t drive away in the grand prize, you could win one of more than 100 other prizes, including a pair of American Airline tickets. Hays County participants will be entered into a drawing with prizes including Rounds of golf at Quail Creek and Onion Creek Country Clubs and tickets to the Texas Open.
