The Waterbury Symphony League invites you to join the fundraiser Birdies for Charity in conjunction with the Travelers Championship Tournament. The Travelers Championship is a PGA TOUR tournament held each year at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. This year’s tournament happens from June 16th – 22nd.

So how can you become involved? You can make a pledge to support the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra for every birdie that is hit at the Travelers Championship (for those who are not familiar with golfing, a birdie is a score of one stroke better than par on any one golf hole). The PGA TOUR professionals are expected to average 1500-2000 birdies during the championship. You can pledge as little as a penny, or any other amount that you wish.

For instance, if 1500 birdies are made during the tournament, here’s what your donation would total:

1¢  = $15
10 ¢ = $150
$1.00 = $1500

Plus, each person that makes a pledge will be entered into a drawing for a 7-Night Stay at a Marriot property of your choice, with more than 100 properties to choose from, AND roundtrip airfare for two!

The great news is that 100% of your pledge goes to the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, and it is a tax-deductible donation.
