Birdies for Covenant Shelter Travelers Championship 2011

Your pennies make a big difference to the homeless men, women and children at Covenant Shelter!

For over 28 years, people like you have made it possible for men, women and children to have emergency food and shelter in a dignified, clean, safe and sober environment. To continue this long tradition of temporary hospitality for the most vulnerable, Covenant Shelter of New London is excited to announce its fundraising partnership with the 2011 Travelers Championship Birdies for Charity program.

Birdies for Charity is a pledge based fundraiser, similar to a walk-a-thon, where nonprofit organizations can solicit pledges based upon the number of birdies made during the 2011 Travelers Championship.

A birdie is a score of one stroke below par for any golf hole. PGA Tour professionals are anticipated to make between 1,500 and 2,000 birdies, from Wednesday, June 22  through Sunday, June 26 at the Travelers Championship.

How does Birdies for Covenant Shelter work?
 
Instead of $1.00 per mile, with Birdies for Charity, you pledge a minimum donation of pennies per birdie or a flat rate donation.  If 1,500 birdies are made: 1¢= $15; 2¢= $30; 5¢=$75; 10¢= $150; and so on...  It's that easy!

How can you pledge?

Making a "per birdie" pledge or flat-rate donation is simple and easy:
 
Simply log onto our pledge site at Birdies for Covenant Shelter and make your pledge.

Covenant Shelter will receive 100% of the proceeds from your pledge and, with your help, may qualify for additional Bonus Bucks!
Guess the Birdies Sweepstakes and we both win!
 
By making a per birdie pledge or flat rate donation, you also have a chance to win!  Guess the exact number of birdies made Wednesday - Sunday of tournament week and win the grand prize of a $500 Visa Gift Card.
In addition, the CT Association of Nonprofits will provide your designated charity with a $500 donation, 1 year membership and 4 training sessions.

Your pledge commitment to Covenant Shelter of New London will be wisely invested to provide for emergency food and shelter, to prepare for healthy and productive futures and to foster the gift of hope for the homeless men, women and children who temporarily call Covenant Shelter of New London their home between homes each year.  Thank you for your support!
