Let the Competition Begin...at the Principal Charity Classic!

Every summer in Des Moines, the Wakonda Golf Club hosts the annual Principal Charity Classic. If you are someone who loves golf and would also like to donate to an excellent cause----this event is for you! The Blue Ribbon Foundation partners with the Principal Charity Classic’s “Birdies for Charity” to help bring together people’s love for golfing and giving. This year’s Charity Classic will be held May 28- June 2. Supporters can pledge a given amount to the charity of their choice for every birdie made by Champion Tour Players during the event. Donations can be made in two ways:

-a set dollar amount for every birdie made by Champion Tour Players

-one-time flat donation

Donations can be given either online or by filling out the Birdies for Charity Pledge Form.

For example: If someone pledges $.50 for each birdie made, and the Champion Tour Players score a total of 450 birdies by the end of the Principal Charity Classic, then the individual’s contribution would be $225.
For those who are golf illiterate like myself, a “birdie” in golf simply means that the golfer scored one stroke beneath “par”, where par is the normal, expected score that was anticipated for the designated hole.
Even if you are not a golfer yourself, please join us at the 2019 Principal Charity Classic and donate to a great cause- preserving the beloved Iowa State Fairgrounds!
