The annual Birdies for Blessings Golf Tournament, a major fundraiser for the Professionals Miracles Foundation, makes a move this year to the Jim Engh championship course at The Club at Pradera, south of Parker. The sixth annual tournament is set for Monday, Aug. 30.

Professionals Miracles Foundation was founded by Denver area real estate agents in 2000, as a support for families who are battling life threatening illnesses, particularly those involving children.

“We’re looking at Pradera as a venue that will take our very successful tournament to an even higher level,” says Rebecca Kenny with RE/MAX Professionals, 2010 Birdies for Blessings Event Chairperson. “It’s a terrific course that’s genuinely fun and challenging to play, with clubhouse facilities that will add character and capability to our silent auction and ceremonial events surrounding the tourney,” Kenny said.

Kenny adds that Pradera has an ambience that fits the warm, engaging atmosphere of Birdies for Blessings. “Playing in this tournament is always a great social experience, as well as a very moving personal encounter with other professionals who are genuinely interested in helping others,” Kenny added. “For a course with terrific golf architecture, Pradera has a family feel to it that will complement this event and draw in new participants.” The Club at Pradera, she added, had actively sought to recruit the Birdies event from its former long-term venue at Inverness Golf Club.

Major supporters of Professionals Miracles Foundation include agents with RE/MAX Professionals, who launched the charity in 2000 on behalf of one agent’s daughter who waged a successful battle with childhood leukemia. The Childrens Hospital Foundation remains a principal beneficiary of the PMF and of Birdies for Blessings, along with individual families needing financial or other support, often identified by agents and their contacts in the community.

Check-in for Birdies for Blessings begins at Pradera at 10 a.m., Aug. 30, followed by a noon shotgun start. Players register for $250 to include range balls, a hole-in-one competition, and a benefit dinner following at Pradera’s attractive Mt. Elbert Dining Room overlooking the course, where guests can bid on sports memorabilia and other silent auction items. The dinner also includes a public auction of some priority sports and travel items. Dinner tickets exclusive of the tournament are available for $50.

Kenny added that Professionals Miracles Foundation maintains an exceptionally low ratio of overhead costs, well below 10%, and that 100% of its financial support is spent within the Denver Metropolitan Area. Positions for the 2010 Birdies for Blessings Tournament are $250, and Kenny and other organizers are actively seeking hole sponsorships ($250), special dinner sponsors ($2500 to $250), and donations of auction items.
