BIRDIES FOR CHARITY
YOU DONATE. WE MATCH!
The AdventHealth Championship Birdies For Charity program is a matching fund program that benefits children in Kansas and Missouri. Organizations receive every penny they raise, plus up to a 10% match on every donation up to $5,000 in total matching funds. There is no minimum amount that must be raised to receive the match. It's a risk-free opportunity to raise additional funds year-round! Birdies For Charity is a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 83-4249063).
The matching funds are made possible due to the generous support of the program sponsor Cocherl Family Foundation.
