Birdies for Charity Grand Prize Drawing is set May 22 (Thursday) at 1:30 PM at the Dick Harmon Learning Center, which is the headquarters of the Houston Golf Association's The First Tee of Houston/Redstone chapter. A total of 89 finalists correctly guessed the exact number of birdies (1,691) recorded at the 2008 Shell Houston Open. Grand Prize winner will receive a 2008 Buick Enclave. WELCOMEWelcome to the 2008 Shell Houston Open Birdies for Charity fund raising program! It is time to focus on how many "Birdies" will be made at the tou rnament and how our Birdies for Charity contest can generate dollars for your organization. The Houston Golf Association will provide you with collateral material for a successful fundraising campaign. The only investment you need to make is your time. Dates for the 2008 Shell Houston Open are March 31-April 6 on the Redstone Golf Club --Tournament Course. If you wish to participate in the Shell Houston Open Birdies for Charity Program, we will need your help with the following information to activate or reactivate your record for 2008: • A copy of the IRS letter that confirms your organization's 501c (3) status. (Only organizations new to the program need to send or fax) • Your Birdies for Charity contact will be the HGA staff (281-454-7000). For those who have not participated before, the pledge forms are part of the collateral material the Houston Golf Association supplies your organization for use in the pledge solicitation. Each organization is responsible for imprinting their name, address, phone number and "bird number" on each form, so each pledge can be properly credited in our database. We suggest that you do this before they are distributed. You may run the forms through printers, copy machines or make mailing labels. Our staff has found that the most time efficient way to imprint the information is by using copy machines, laser or inkjet printers. Your pledge forms will be distributed flat for this purpose. A template for the placement may be downloaded here. Your quick response to the requested items above is greatly appreciated. Please contact the HGA staff directly at 281-454-7000 should you have any questions prior to the Kick-Off Pledge Form distribution day. Good luck,
Steve Timms
HGA CEO/President
