Exciting News!!!
Veterans Base Camp
is pleased to announce our
2024 partnership with
Travelers Championship PGA
Birdies for Charity!
What is Birdies for Charity?
Birdies for Charity is a giving platform where nonprofits simply solicit donations
and receive a 15% bonus on every dollar raised thanks to Webster Bank!
If you choose to donate to Veterans Base Camp (VBC) you can make your donation go even
further by donating to us through the Birdies for Charity program.
There is no cost to VBC to tap into the excitement of Connecticut’s only PGA TOUR event
and your donation will help us receive extra funds!
In our continued effort to support veterans with food, emergency shelter, counseling and outreach,
we hope you will join us as we raise funds through the Birdies for Charity program.
For 2024, our goal is to raise $75,000, these funds will help provide additional
support and services to our veterans through: the purchase of a commercial stove,
commercial refrigerator (to replace our 30+ year old ones that have died!) and expanding our therapeutic programs.
Please help our mission
by donating through the Birdies for Charity program today.
Simply visit our donation website by clicking on the Birdies 4 Charity button below.
Thank you for supporting our veterans!
