Are you ready to turn a simple guess into a major win for our nation’s Veterans and a $10,000 grand prize for yourself?
This unique fundraising event allows you to leverage the excitement of the PGA TOUR to support our mission while giving you a chance to walk away with a life-changing prize.
How Birdies for Charity Works
Participating is easy, and every entry directly fuels our "Valor into Vocation" programs here in South Florida.
Make a Donation: To enter, simply pledge a donation of $20 or more to Warrior Golf Alliance.
The Grand Prize: The supporter who guesses closest to the actual number—without going over—will win the $10,000 grand prize!
These funds are distributed to participating charities based on the total amount we raise, meaning your $20 donation helps us unlock even more support for our Heroes.
A second tiebreaker asks specifically for the number of balls hit into the water on the iconic Hole 17.
