That’s because participating charities will receive every single penny of collected pledges.


How Do I Play Birdies for Charity?
Simply pledge one cent or more for every birdie that will be made by the PGA Tour players, Thursday through Sunday of the 2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open. It’s estimated that between 1,300 and 1,800 birdies will be made. Inclement weather may affect the total.


How Much Will I Owe & Whom Do I Pay?
Say you pledge one cent per birdie and 1,500 birdies are made. After the tournament, you’ll receive an invoice for $15.00 from Thunderbirds Charities. You can either make your check payable to “Thunderbirds Charities” or provide credit card information (do not pay the charity directly). Or, you can pledge on-line at www.birdiesforcharityarizona.com and make checks payable to: “Thunderbirds Charities.”

Mission Statement

The Phoenix Thunderbirds have been an integral part of the Valley of the Sun since 1937. Although, better known as the host organization for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, we are equally proud of our contribution to charity.


In 1986 Thunderbirds Charities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation was established for the purpose of distributing money to charitable causes.


Funds are raised through the Waste Management Phoenix Open and direct gifts to Thunderbirds Charities. The tremendous support of our community allows us to achieve our charitable goals.


The mission of Thunderbirds Charities is to assist children and families, help people in need and improve the quality of life in our communities. Our charitable giving will be directed toward organizations based or with a significant presence in Arizona.


With close to $65 million raised for Arizona charities, countless individuals and groups have benefitted from the monies raised through the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
