We are inviting you to take part in a promotion called the Shell Houston Open Birdies for Charity Program. It centers on the PGA TOUR event set for March 29 - April 4 at the Tournament Course at Redstone Golf Club. It doesn’t matter if you are a golfer or have never played the game. What matters is helping a local worthy cause and perhaps being rewarded for that gesture.

The Houston Golf Association is giving our organization, SIRE – Houston’s Therapeutic Equestrian Centers, the opportunity to generate funds from this fun promotion.  We have no risk and receive back all donations generated through our efforts. The HGA pays all the costs of the Birdies for Charity program. Birdies for Charity is one of a few, if not the only, charitable program where each charity knows, with absolute confidence, that every cent pledged/collected through the program goes directly back to them. The HGA is pleased to underwrite all costs of the program. You can benefit too… and maybe win the grand prize, a 2010 Honda FIT automobile.  

Did you know that the pro golfers playing in the Shell Houston Open have averaged approximately 1,649 birdies every year for the past eleven years? Guess the exact number of birdies the pros will make this year and you could win fantastic prizes.

The concept is simple. We are asking you to make a minimum pledge of a penny per birdie for every birdie made Wednesday through Sunday by the pros at the Shell Houston Open. Of course, you can pledge more if you like or even make a flat contribution.  The minimum flat contribution is $20. Then as an extra bonus you get to guess how many cumulative birdies (a score of 1-under par on a hole) will be made this year and the person who guesses correctly could win a new car..

After the tournament you will be billed for the amount of your pledge written on the official pledge form. For instance, if the pros make 1,500 birdies and your pledge is a penny, you will be billed for $15.00.  It’s that simple.
