Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Presented by Kroger Announces Birdies for Charity Program
The Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic has an exciting new way for Northwest Ohio children’s charities to cash-in on the birdies made during the competitive rounds of the 2008 tournament. The Birdies for Charity is geared towards raising thousands of additional dollars for this year’s charities.

The way Birdies for Charity works is for the tournament charities to obtain pledges of 1 cent or more for every “birdie” made during the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic tournament rounds (Thursday thru Sunday). Birdies for Charity will donate 100 percent of the money received to the designated tournament charities. The tournament office will invoice those who filled out pledge forms following the 2008 JFOCC and collect all monies. Make your pledge today!
