“The Play Yellow Birdie Bash is all about community,” noted Colorado PGA CEO/Executive Director Steven Bartkowski “The goal of the Play Yellow Birdie Bash is to support our community through the game of golf We made huge strides this year by uniting 500 individual donors behind our campaign All of those people believe in the game and believe in our PGA of America Golf Professionals Our PGA of America Golf Professionals excelled on the golf course to benefit the community; our three hospitals and our PGA REACH Colorado Foundation ”

35 PGA of America Golf Professionals from Colorado gathered to play at The Ranch Country Club to raise money by making as many birdies as possible throughout 72 holes of golf, playing the Doubles Golf format (two-person scramble) Over the past thirty days, players recruited pledges from donors to contribute money for each birdie their team made in the Play Yellow Birdie Bash Over 500 donors pledged anywhere from $2 to $50 per birdie in the inaugural event

The Play Yellow Birdie Bash is all about utilizing the game of golf to impact the community Children’s Hospital Colorado Champion, Porter, kicked off the 2023 event by hitting a ceremonial tee shot to begin play Porter and his family cheered players on throughout the day while also reading putts on the greens to help teams make birdies and raise more funds
