How You Can Help Our Coalition

Birdies for Charity  

The Birdies for Charity fundraising program is sponsored by the Southern Farm Bureau Classic golf tournament and Century Club Charities.  

Kim Hall, Patty Mekus, and Anne Nelson

Proceeds from this year’s campaign will help provide youth drug prevention programs in Warren County . The programs and activities will strengthen social bonding, develop skills that permit children and adolescents to perform successfully without violating acceptable standards of behavior, and provide children and adolescents with clear rules against alcohol and other drug use. Expected outcomes are increased graduation rates, decreased school dropout rates, reduction of rates of substance abuse in the community and stronger community policies so that new social norms are supported.  

We are asking our friends to play a role in achieving a drug-free community by making a pledge through Birdies for Charity. As an added incentive to donors, each person who makes a pledge to Birdies for Charity will have the opportunity to guess the number of birdies (a birdie is a score of one stroke less that par for any golf hole) made during the 2006 Southern Farm Bureau Classic. Prizes will be drawn for those who guess the correct number.
