Win a pair of tickets to the 2013 Travelers Championship!
Make your pledge to Birdies for Charity and be entered into the drawing for a pair of tickets to this year’s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highland June 17-23!
Two winners will be drawn on Friday, June 7th.
The Birdies for Charity program provides Operation Fuel the opportunity to raise funds by collecting pledges based on the number of birdies made by PGA TOUR professionals during tournament week. At the conclusion of the tournament, the Travelers Championship will calculate the number of birdies made by the pledged amounts, and then will distribute invoices to each of our donors.
For example, if an individual makes a $.02 pledge and there are 1,500 birdies made, then that individual will be asked to make a donation of $30.00 to Operation Fuel.
Join us in this exciting fundraising initiative!
Making a per birdie pledge or flat rate donation is simple and easy, just log onto our Birdies for Charity pledge site below

Operation Fuel Resumes Taking Applications for Energy Assistance
Operation Fuel is running a limited program for households that are in financial crisis and face losing their electricity or gas service now that the state utilities’ Winter Protection program ended on May 1.
Households must meet certain eligibility criteria and not have received energy assistance from Operation Fuel this fiscal year. Operation Fuel began taking applications from qualified households on April 29 and will continue through June 30 or until funds run out. The maximum annual grant is $500 per household.
Operation Fuel stopped taking applications for winter energy assistance on March 15 when the need for energy assistance had exceeded the program’s funds. At that time, Executive Director Patricia Wrice had said Operation Fuel would resume accepting applications on April 29 for a limited spring program.
Operation Fuel has given out more than $2.5 million in winter energy while giving out about $500,000 this past summer for a total of more than $3 million since July 1, 2012.
Operation Fuel raises $30,000 at Burn Calories 2013
Operation Fuel has raised more than $30,000 from its fourth annual Burn Calories for Fuel 5K and 10K, which was held recently at the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield. The proceeds from the run will be used for emergency energy assistance for Connecticut families and the elderly.
Operation Fuel’s staff supported Burn Calories for Fuel by running the course or helping out with the event.
