July 1 marks final day for Birdies for Charity donations

Donors have until July 1 to contribute to the John Deere Classic’s Birdies for Charity program. The initiative allows supporters to pledge money for every birdie made by players during the tournament, with all funds going directly to a charity of the donor's choice. Last year, the program raised over $16 million, with players achieving more than 2,000 birdies. Donations can still be made throughout the year to contribute to a bonus fund.
