Platinum Tee Club

The Platinum Tee Club is designed for those interested in supporting all the Birdies for Charity organizations as well as the tournament’s continued improvement. A Platinum Tee Club donation is just a Partner Program donation that goes directly to the Birdies for Charity Bonus Fund. That frees up capital for spectator improvements while ensuring charities get the high end of the bonus promise. Because of these donations, participating charities receive a bonus check of at least 5%. Thanks to the success of this program, we have been able to award up to 10% bonus checks in the past. As a 501 (C) (3) organization, donations made here have the same tax advantages as any other donation made to one of our participating organizations.

Twice the impact – John Deere believes strongly enough in this initiative that it has set aside a matching fund to provide a dollar for dollar match for any donation made through the program up to $325,000.
