In light of the recent economic difficulties in Alberta, the Birdies for Kids program has expanded the tournament’s charitable portfolio during 2015 to support even more charities in an effort to provide relief during a tough fundraising year. BFK will support over 90 charities in Alberta this year.
Since 2013 the tournament has raised over $4.67 million for charities in the province. 100% of all donations raised through the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation will be contributed directly back to the selected Birdies for Kids charities. In addition, Birdies for Kids offers a matching pool, wherein up to 50% of a donation will be matched.
“The motto for the Shaw Charity Classic is ‘Helping Kids. Changing Lives.’ Funds raised on behalf of 4-H Alberta will certainly fit with this mandate, as 4-H Alberta will use any dollars we receive to help directly enrich the 4-H experience for youth in Alberta. We would like to thank the Shaw Charity Classic Foundation and AltaLink for including 4-H Alberta in this program during 2015,” says Bruce Banks, CEO, 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
Birdies for Kids is a program designed to aid in raising funds for local charities, engage the community in the tournament, and provide matching funds for each charity involved. The program itself acts as a partnership builder between donors and charities, as all money will flow through the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation towards Alberta charities.
