TEAMS UP WITH
THE TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Travelers Championship, Connecticut’s professional golf tournament and a PGA TOUR event, will be held June 16-22, 2008 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT. The world’s best golfers will come to town to compete in front of a crowd of more than 200,000 fans. All the action will be for a great cause, as 100% of proceeds go to charity. Here is your chance to participate and help Hockanum Valley Community Council, Inc.
Birdies For Charity is a pledge-based fundraising program. HVCC is soliciting pledges based on the number of birdies made during the 2008 Championship. Pledge forms are available at HVCC’s office, at Good Cents Treasures Thrift Store and online at https://secure.travelerschampionship.com/birdiesforcharity.htm
Return the form today to show your support! We are able to accept pledges of one penny or more! Please indicate HVCC’s BIRD CODE (180) on the form. Help HVCC become one of the Top 10 pledge getting charities and we will be eligible for up to $5,000 from a program called Birdies Bonus Bucks. The Top 5 pledge-getting charities will earn the opportunity to exhibit at the Championship to promote their charity and collect more pledges!
HVCC is also participating in Chip In For Charity, a ticket sales program. We are selling tickets to the Championship for the discounted price of $20 (regular one day pass tickets are $32).
