<div class="m_-7553316614945729298MsoNoSpacing">For those who don’t know, here’s a couple of golf terms to explain what a birdie is. “Par" refers to the number of strokes a golfer is expected to need to complete the play at any one hole on a golf course. A
“birdie” is made when a hole is completed in one stroke less than par. Birdies are counted for PGA Tour professionals’ play on Monday and Wednesday through Sunday at the Travelers Championship. Between 1500 and 2000 birdies are expected.<u></u><u></u></div>

<div class="m_-7553316614945729298MsoNoSpacing">Flat rate donations made by charge card will be processed immediately. At the conclusion of the tournament on June 25, 2017, the Travelers Championship will calculate the number of birdies made and send invoices
to each of our per-birdie donors. For example, if an individual makes a $.02 per birdie pledge and there are 1800 birdies made, then that individual will be asked to make a donation of $36.00 donation to our organization. The Travelers Championship donates
100% of the proceeds back to the organizations, plus an additional 15% bonus through their Bonus Bucks Program.<u></u><u></u></div>
