Birdies, eagles benefit Charity Foursome Program

FORT WORTH, Texas — During weekend rounds at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, the title sponsor is making a charitable donation of $100 for every birdie and $500 for every eagle, up to $50,000.

The program, Crowne Plaza Hotels Resorts’ Charity Foursome, benefits four charities — Birdies for the Brave, Shelter In A Storm, Cook Children’s Medical Center and The First Tee of Fort Worth.

Each pairing is assigned a corresponding charity. Players’ caddies are wearing the name of one of the four charities on their bibs and the charity is also displayed on the hand-held scoreboards.
