The Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library is once again participating in Birdies for Charity through the WM Phoenix Open, and this year your donation could win you a $25 Amazon.com gift card.

This fundraiser is sponsored by Thunderbirds Charities through the annual golf tournament at TPC Scottsdale.

It works just like a walk-a-thon, except you are pledging a fixed amount (as low as $.01) for each birdie scored at the golf tournament held at TPC Scottsdale.

With over 1,500 birdies typically scored by PGA golfers at the event, even small pledges result in significant donations ($.01 per birdie x 1,500 birdies = $15 donation). You can also donate a fixed amount.

The Friends will receive 100 percent of the donation if you choose us as your non-profit, and Thunderbirds will match 10 percent of funds once we reach $500 in total donations.

As an added perk for this year’s donors, anyone who pledges at least $.02 per birdie (or $25 fixed) is eligible to participate in our “Guess the Birdies” contest. Whoever guesses closest to the actual number of birdies scored at the event will receive a $25 Amazon.com gift card.

To donate, visit http://birdiesforcharityaz.com and click the Donate/Register button. All pledges must be received by 5pm on Sunday, February 13, 2022, and if you want to participate in the Guess the Birdies contest, your pledge needs to be in by Wednesday, February 9 at 5pm.
