Corrianne Chipello is the CEO and Executive Director of Camp Courant and shares how you can support their mission through Birdies for Charity with The Travelers Championship! Listen to our interview below and get connected to Birdies for Charity!
Hartford’s Camp Courant is the oldest and largest FREE summer day program in the country, and their programs provide Hartford’s youth, ages 5-12, with an opportunity to build meaningful and positive relationships with fellow campers and staff, learn, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Campers become part of a historic camp community that continues to grow and evolve, but has also stood the test of time.
Camp Courant's mission is to create an exciting camp community that will have a positive and lifelong impact on young campers—a camp where kids can experience diversity by meeting children from all backgrounds, where they can learn to be independent and where they will be challenged to try new activities—all while having a healthy dose of fun!
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.
If You are a Charity:
All registered 501(c)(3) organizations in the Northeast United States can participate once registered. You can solicit donations and know that the heavy lifting of administration and billing will be taken care of by the Travelers Championship, with no credit card or administration fees. There is no minimum amount organizations must raise to participate or receive the 15% bonus.
If You are a Charity Donor:
It is gratifying to know that 100% of every donation collected goes directly to your specified charity. All administrative costs and online fees are covered to make this possible. Plus, through the Bonus Bucks Pool, the tournament is able to give every charity an additional 15% of every donation to make the deal even sweeter.
