RULES FOR PARTICPATING CHARITIES
Who is eligible to participate?
Northeast Florida charitable organizations that are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) are eligible to participate in Birdies for Charity.
Upon submission of the registration form, charities will be approved by THE PLAYERS for participation.
How does Birdies for Charity work?
- Charitable organizations solicit individuals to make a donation (minimum $20) to their organization via the Birdies for Charity program.
- The individual solicited to make a donation is also given the chance to make a guess at how many birdies will be made at THE PLAYERS Championship 2023. A tie-breaker question will also be asked.
- After THE PLAYERS Championship is over, the individual who guesses the exact number of birdies made (or closest thereto) has a chance to win the Grand Prize... $10,000!
- In the event of a tie, a winner will be determined by who most accurately guesses the total number of balls hit into the water at No. 17. If there are multiple winners after the initial tie-breaker, THE PLAYERS will ask additional tie-breaker questions until a grand prize winner is determined.
Every donor must make a Birdies Guess AND answer a Tie-Breaker Question in order for their donation to be an eligible entry on a charity's Donation Report Form.
Charities may NOT assign Birdies Guesses for donors.
Capital Campaign donations are allowable when accompanied by completed Manual Donation Form.
Are there any restrictions?
- Charities may not submit birdies guesses on behalf of donors.
- Donations toward capital campaigns are eligible as long as they are accompanied by a manual donation form.
- Government grants and Foundation grants are NOT eligible for Birdies for Charity donations.
- Membership dues and existing pre-arranged donations are NOT eligible for Birdies for Charity donations.
