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.
