CHARITABLE INITIATIVES
As successful as the Valero Texas Open
was “inside the ropes,” the most fulfilling
aspect is the event’s impact “outside
the ropes.” This year’s Valero Texas
Open, along with the Valero Benefit for
Children, raised $9 million which was
distributed to hundreds of worthy charity
organizations; positively impacting
communities near and far.
This incredible effort brings the Texas Open’s total charitable
contribution to $95 million - $90.5 million of which has been
raised since 2002 when Valero became the tournament’s title
sponsor. This helps put the Valero Texas Open closer to the
“Drive to $100 Million for Charities” milestone. And for the
13th consecutive year, the tournament is among the Top 3 of
the PGA TOUR charitable leaderboard.

We aren’t going to stop at $100 million.

The Valero Texas Open also raised charitable dollars through
a variety of programs including its pro-am golf tournaments,
corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, the Birdies for Charity
program in which nonprofit organizations solicit pledges for
every birdie made during tournament week, and the Chip In
for Schools program, which allows schools to sell discounted
tournament tickets and keep all the proceeds.

Funds were raised through Valero Texas Open sponsorships
combined with the Valero Benefit for Children – a fund
raising event in which 2,500+ participants enjoyed golf
outings across 11 of San Antonio’s premier golf courses or a
sporting clays competition, all of which was held the Monday
following the Valero Texas Open.

SETTING THE STAGE
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
TPC San Antonio
TPC San Antonio opened in January 2010 with two 18-hole

Course features narrow, tree-lined fairways. The AT&T
Canyons Course features wide fairways and panoramic
views of the adjoining 700+ acre nature preserve. The

TOUR’s Valero Texas Open since 2010.
TPC San Antonio is a private resort, only accessible to
club members and their guests as well as guests of the
JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa.
In addition to two challenging golf courses, TPC San

and Spa is situated in Texas Hill Country in Cibolo

Consider conducting a seminar or staff meeting in the morning, followed
by lunch and an afternoon full of golf and networking in a hospitality
suite. Develop a “learn, lunch and fun” day for your business partners,
staff or prospective clients.

BIRDIES FOR CHARITY
The Valero Texas Open’s Birdies for Charity®,
a fundraising program designed in 1997,
gives participating charities and schools a
unique platform to generate contributions.
A no-cost program, Birdies for Charity,
gives 100% of the funds raised back to the
participating organizations.
Funds are generated by soliciting pledges
from individuals and corporations. Birdies
for Charity is like a walk-a-thon, but instead
of donating per mile, participants make a
pledge for every birdie made at the Valero
Texas Open. The 2014 Valero Texas Open
had 1,784 birdies made, so a pledge of $0.01
yielded a donation of $17.84. Donors also
have the ability to make a one-time donation
with the flexibility to pay in advance or to be
billed after the tournament. Donations are
accepted from anywhere around the world
and are tax deductible, thanks to the Valero
Texas Open’s non-profit 501(c)3 status.
The 2014 fundraising campaign, which
combined efforts of one hundred and fifteen
charities and schools, grew 32% over 2013
generating over $1.84M with a recordbreaking collection rate of 99.5% from
donor commitments. These hardworking
organizations were awarded an additional
$120,000 combined, based on performance,
through incentive programs funded by the
Valero Texas Open.
CHIP IN FOR SCHOOLS
Chip In for Schools is a program initiated by the Valero Texas Open to help
participating schools earn money for their school programs (student groups, sport
teams, classes, etc.) by selling advanced tickets to the Valero Texas Open for $20 and
keeping $15 from each ticket sold.
The funds raised through Birdies for Charity and Chip In for Schools contribute to the
overall total of charitable funds raised through the Valero Texas Open and the Benefit
for Children, which raised $9 million in 2014. This incredible effort brings the Texas
Open’s total charitable contribution to $95 million - $90.5 million of which has been
raised since 2002 when Valero became the tournament’s title sponsor.
