Charity begins on the golf course at the 2009 Navistar LPGA Classic. You have the opportunity to make a local charity a big winner by participating in the Birdies for Charity program. Participating charities receive every single penny of the donations generated! Additionally, you have a chance to win great prizes when you pitch in to help the soliciting charity!

Birdies for Charity is a fundraising program designed to give participating charities the opportunity to generate contributions for their organization based on the number of “birdies” made by LPGA players during the Navistar LPGA Classic.
