The Travelers Championship PGA golf tournament took place June 16-22nd at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT. Birdies for Charity is a fundraiser presented by CohnReznick where nonprofits collect donations and pledges for their organizations based on the number of birdies (a score of one stroke better than par for any golf hole) made during the 2014 Travelers Championship. These funds are further leveraged by the Birdies for Charity Bonus Bucks Program, from which each participating organization will receive an additional award in the amount of 15% of total donations/pledges solicited during the fundraiser thanks to a generous donation from the sponsoring organization.
Journey Home, with the help of a dedicated Board of Directors, was able to raise over $17,000 through this fundraiser from our dedicated donors, equaling almost $20,000 with the inclusion of the Bonus Bucks, to go towards ending chronic homelessness in Greater Hartford. Because of this extraordinary show of support, Journey Home was awarded a booth in the Fan Zone for one full day at the tournament where we were able to get some valuable exposure and raise awareness for our organization among the 50,000 fans that attend the tournament each year. On behalf of the entire staff and Board of Journey Home, we would like to express our immense gratitude for the generous contributions made by all of our donors. We rely on the generosity of supporters like you to continue our work in the Greater Hartford community.
