“Birdies
for Charity” Event
Thank you to those that participated in the 17th annual
John Deere Classic’s “Birdies for Charity” fundraising program. Those that made a pledge helped Marquette Catholic
Schools raise over $1,700. The John Deere Classic
also matches 10 percent of every organizations total pledge, which is included
in the $1,700 total. The money raised for our
school system will be used to continue upgrading the technology.
Corporate and/or individuals could pledge a minimum of one-cent per
birdie scored during the tournament. For example,
in 2009 1,914 birdies were scored. For a one-cent
pledge, your donation would be $19.14. A great
way to donate money to our school system!
