Birdies for Charity
Pledge Cards Due by Friday, July 6
Birdies for Charity is one of our most important funding sources for the year and one of the most impactful donations you can make. Last Year the GAHC was fortunate to raise $45,000, plus an additional 10% bonus on all Birdies contributions! 
 
100% of every pledge collected for GAHC goes directly to our non-profit. Pledges need to be at least one penny per birdie, or can be a one-time flat donation. You will also be able to guess the number of birdies recorded during Wednesday through Sunday of the John Deere Classic for your chance to win a car or other prizes!
 
You can also make your contribution online! Just click this link, type in German and our non-profit will pop up! Add the amount you would like to donate next to our name and you can use their secure donation form online! This is one easy way to see your gift go further with a bonus from the John Deere Classic!
