Birdies for PPS

Parents for Public Schools (PPS) is taking part in a new fundraising effort as part of the PGA Tour’s Viking Classic Tournament, to be held September 27 – October 3 at the Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi. Birdies For Charity raises money for participating charities by collecting tax-deductible pledges based on the number of birdies made by PGA golfers during the Viking Classic.

You can make support PPS by donating at least two cents for each birdie in the tournament. PPS will receive 100 percent of collected pledges. Between 1,400 and 1,800 birdies are expected during the four-day tournament. Download the pledge form for more information on Birdies For Charity. You may even win a Viking 41” Ultra-Premium Grill!

PPS National, PPS-Jackson (MS), and PPS-Springfield (IL) are actively participating in the pledge drive. You can contact them directly to make your pledge. You can also make a pledge in the name of any chapter by completing the National pledge form and indicating your chapter preference.

PPS is always looking for opportunities to provide more resources to parents working in our public schools. We hope this will be a fun way to further our work.
