2008 PLAYERS Championship Birdies for Charity

It’s your last chance to get involved with the PGA TOUR-sponsored contest and support wounded heroes at the same time!

Similar to a walk-a-thon, you pledge a dollar amount per birdie and are then eligible to guess the number of birdies that will be made at THE PLAYERS Championship on May 5-11, 2008. The Grand Prize (winning guess) receives a get-away for two to Scottsdale, Arizona. Pledge here.

WWP thanks you for your support!

TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS is a non-profit organization established by the family and friends of a soldier serving in the U.S. Army. When the father asked what the son needed he responded by asking his father to do something for the soldiers and families of the fallen and disabled back home.

TEE IT UP FOR THE TROOPS, INC, was created to help honor that request, and to honor and recognize the needs of all veterans who have served this nation.
