Charity Information & Donate

Our Cause

Besides watching some of the best golfers compete in our province, our real drive is helping the kids who call Alberta home. Thanks to your support, we have raised over $137 million dollars for over 290 children and youth charities across Alberta.

All administrative costs and efforts for the program including website administration, credit card fees, invoicing, etc. will be covered by the Rogers Charity Classic tournament. This means that 100% of all funds donated through the program will go directly to your charity of choice. On top of the donation, the most exciting part of Birdies for Kids is the matching pool. For every generous contribution, the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation will match up to 50%.
