Birdies for Charity

Pledge or Donate to the Public Libraries in Jefferson County through Birdies for Charity!

Charity begins on the golf course at the Regions Tradition. You have the opportunity to make the Public Libraries In Jefferson County a big winner by participating in the Birdies for Charity program. We will receive every single penny of the donations generated on our behalf! Additionally, you have a chance to win great prizes when you pitch in to help us! Simply make a pledge of $0.02 or more per birdie or make a flat pledge of $15 or more.

To create additional excitement, the Regions Tradition is giving you the chance to "Guess the Birdies" that will be made during the tournament by the Champions Tour Players. If you guess correctly, you could win two tickets to the 2014 Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama! It is expected that around 950 birdies are going to be made based on past tournaments.

Why is your pledge important? The top ten organizations that raise the most money will receive additional funds from Red Diamond on behalf of the Regions Tradition. The top 10 charities get "Red Diamond Bonus Bucks"with the top charity receiving $10,000.

Help us make that goal by pledging today.


Thanks in advance for your gift.
