Using the magnitude of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial to expand fundraising capability

For the 5th straight year, Cornerstone is proud to be a part of the Birdies for Charity Program, a fundraising initiative in partnership with 30 local charities, sponsored by the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

What is Birdies for Charity?

The concept behind Birdies for Charity is simple: charitable organizations like Cornerstone solicit pledges for every "birdie" made during the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

If you are familiar with the game of golf, you know that this creates a tremendous amount of fundraising potential for local charities.

The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial has produced a marketing brochure that explains the concept of Birdies in great detail, the Crowne Plaza tie-in, as well as action steps you can take to donate to your favorite charity. This brochure doubles as a pledge card for anyone interested in making a donation.

Matching Funds

One of the tremendous benefits of being part of the Birdies for Charity program is the Crowne Plaza Invitational's pledge to match a percentage collected by each participating charity.

The match includes:

  • 15% on the first $20,000 raised - or up to $3,000 additional
  • 10% match on the next $20,000 raised - or up to $2,000 additional
  • >$40,000 - Anything over $40,000 receives a prorated match based on the remaining uncommitted funds in matching fund.
