The Birdies for Charity program is designed to give participating charities the opportunity to generate contributions for local charities (including the Mississippi JDRF chapter) based on the number of birdies made by the PGA TOUR players during the Viking Classic. The primary goal of the BFC program is to successfully solicit and collect pledges based on the number of birdies made at the Viking Classic (Wednesday-Sunday) of a minimum of two (2) cents per birdie OR a donation of $25 or more. Participating charities receive 100% of collected pledges, and we expect between 1400 and 1800 birdies will be made by PGA TOUR pros during the 2009 Viking Classic.

In 2009, those making a pledge or donation can enter the Guess the Birdies contest by guessing the number of birdies made during our tournament (Wednesday-Sunday). The person who makes the correct prediction wins a Viking C4 outdoor Cooker, as well as a Viking Culinary Package of cookware, cutlery, and countertop appliances. Also included is a trip to Greenwood, MS for a “Southern Hospitality, Viking Style” package that includes a two night stay in an elegant suite at The Alluvian Hotel and Spa, spa treatment for two in the luxurious “Couple’s Suite”, dinner for two at Giardina’s Restaurant, and a custom-designed cooking class for two with an Executive Chef from the Viking Cooking School. Donors also qualify to win several other prizes from random drawings, including Viking cookware and Viking countertop appliances.
The dates for the 2009 Viking Classic are October 26 – November 1 at Annandale Golf Club in Madison, MS.
