birdies for charity

Picture
It’s Birdies for Charity Time! And when you fill out a Pledge form for the Rock Island County Farm Bureau Foundation – your donation goes further with the support of John Deere, and you have the chance to win a two-year lease on a 2020 Lexus NX! 

2020 Birdies Changes

The charity program associated with the tournament, Birdies for Charity, will carry on despite the cancellation of the golf tournament. In 2019, Birdies for Charity raised $13.8 million for 543 organizations.
Make a donation, here.
Birdies for Charity 2020 is underway, but there have been some operational changes made due to the pandemic. Here's what we know:
  • Pledge forms are not being physically passed out to participants, but are available online (see image below). 
  • Donors have been encouraged to make electronic contributions.
  • Every penny pledge received will be converted to a flat $20 donation
  • All donors will be eligible for a random drawing for traditional prizes

Simply fill out a pledge card by July 7th with your contact information and pledge amount and mail it to the Rock Island County Farm Bureau at 1601 52nd Ave, Suite 3, Moline, IL 61265, or donate at the link below. Pledges need to be at least one penny per birdie, or can be a one-time flat donation. You will also be able to guess the number of birdies recorded during Wed-Sun of the John Deere Classic for your chance to win a car or other prizes.

After the tournament, the John Deere Classic invoices each donor up to three times to collect their pledges.  

Once all the money is collected, the tournament delivers checks and a detailed list of donors to each charity by October 31st.  

When this Foundation was formed in 2002, our goal was to grow our scholarship offerings and support our Ag in the Classroom program. The Rock Island County Farm Bureau® Foundation is asking for your assistance and support so that Farm Bureau can make a difference and spread agriculture knowledge through our educational programming! 

Please help us preserve our past and grow our future for the generations to come!
