Today we spoke with Mary Roche, President of the Board for Hartford Artisans Weaving Center!
The weavers in this organization are blind, and the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center teaches the artisans how to weave and then sells their artwork! The craftsmanship behind these pieces is unbelievable! Ms. Roche describes the organization as a "big community" and it is "not just about the weaving"

In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
