Rivermont Collegiate is again participating in Birdies for Charity 2012, sponsored by the John Deere Classic. This program offers you an excellent opportunity to maximize your support to Rivermont students, as well as the mission of the School! The Birdies for Charity program allows non-profit organizations to obtain flat dollar donations or pledges of 1 cent or more for every “birdie” made during the 2012 John Deere Classic. Participants who guess the exact number of birdies will be entered into a drawing to determine the grand prize winner – who will drive away in a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu! However, the best part is that your donation will be increased by a 5% bonus from the Classic!
Participation is easy – simply fill out the Birdies 2012 Pledge Form and return to the Business Office at Rivermont. Thanks to the Birdies for Charity sponsor, John Deere, all administrative and promotional costs of the program are paid – all the money goes to participating charities! This is a win-win, because your pledge supports Rivermont students as well as the John Deere Classic - both wonderful Quad City traditions!
