What is Birdies for Better?
Birdies for Better is a fundraising platform available to all nonprofits based in North Carolina and South Carolina. Charitable organizations are encouraged to invite their supporters to make a minimum $20 contribution that will allow them to guess the number of birdies that will be made during the competitive rounds of the 2026 Truist Championship (Thursday-Sunday). An individual who guesses the exact number of birdies (or closest to) will have the chance to win a grand prize of a one-year Audi Q5 lease from HendrickCars.com, Official Automotive Retailer of the Truist Championship or cash prize of $10,000. The individual who guesses the next closest will win a VIP Culinary Experience: Date Night for a Year at Steak 48 that includes $300 in dining credits per month for 12 months. The individual who guesses third closest will receive a VIP Experience for Two at the 2027 Truist Championship. See official rules for more details.
Participating charities will receive 100% of every donation collected for their organization in addition to a portion of funds from the $100,000 bonus pool provided by the Truist Championship.
The top five highest fundraising charities as of April 1, 2026 will be honored as a “Charity of the Day” during tournament week (Wednesday, May 6, 2026 – Sunday, May 10, 2026). Your charity will be given the opportunity to have a presence at the Truist Championship to connect with fans, donors, and attendees.
