A Message from the Board
Once again, PACG is participating in the John Deere Birdies for Charity drive! The John Deere Classic runs from July 1st through July 5th this year.
John Deere Classic week is always exciting. Not just for the tournament, but also for what the tournament means for charities. Since 1971, the John Deere Classic has delivered over $159 million to regional charities, most of it through its innovative Birdies for Charity program. No other event on the PGA TOUR does it better - and it's the generous and hardworking nature of this area that makes it happen!
What Birdies for Charity means for PACG
When you chip in to help PACG, you could win! But PACG will be the real winner. PACG receives 100% of the donations pledged to us in this program, plus a bonus from the Birdies for Charity Bonus Fund which is guaranteed to be at least a 5% match. The 2025 Birdies for Charity match was 9%!
Donate several ways
Fill out a pledge donation (the file above). This will enter you in the contest. If you guess the correct number of birdies in the tournament, you can win a two-year lease on a new car. Submit your pledge donation by July 1st. If you send in the pledge without a donation, you will be billed by Birdies for Charity.
