Pennies for Prevention- Birdies for Charity

Support SACADA Programs, Every Penny Counts!

Birdies for Charity® is a fundraising program designed by Golf San Antonio to give participating organizations, such as SACADA, the opportunity to generate contributions through the Valero Texas Open.

Birdies for Charity lets participants make a donation for every birdie made at the Valero Texas Open. In golf, a “birdie” is one stroke under par for a hole. So if, someone pledged $0.01 per birdie, they would pay one penny for every birdie made. Last year, 1,954 birdies were made, at .01 per birdie equals a donation of $19.54.

To add excitement and increase participation, donors can also participate in the “Guess the Birdies” contest. Donors can guess how many “birdies” will be made during the tournament, which will be held at TPC San Antonio on April 11-17, 2011. Guess the number of “birdies” correctly and win a brand new vehicle.

Donors have the ability to make a one-time donation and flexibility to pay in advance or be billed after the tournament. Donations are accepted from anywhere around the world and are tax deductible.

By donating to SACADA, children will continue to learn resiliency and healthy decision making skills to live Drug Free lives. Our agency also helps those struggling with drug use find appropriate resources to reach abstinence and live productive lives.
