Rebekah DeMatteo is the Director of Training for Army's Legacy Animal Rescue and Sanctuary and shares how you can support their mission through Birdies for Charity with The Travelers Championship! Listen to our interview below and get connected to Birdies for Charity!
Army’s Legacy is a positive force in dog rescue: An organization creating positive energy in the industry and focusing on the best interest of each animal. With organized, calm, comfortable, and effective care for every pet, Army’s Legacy provides a feeling of safety and protection, love, hope, family and home for those with no voice. As Army’s Legacy welcomes each animal, volunteer and participant with respect and warmth, we expect the industry to follow and engage in the same positive ethic. Army’s Legacy is grateful to all animal rescue organizations for providing care for our furry friends, and it works in conjunction with many.
Our mission is to create a movement in dog and cat rescue by being a leader setting markedly improved standards and best practices in the animal rehoming landscape. We use love, care and kindness in every aspect of our efforts. As a result, we are ensuring that each animal we rescue receives every chance possible to succeed. We offer focused care and rehabilitation, resulting in a high rate of successful adoptions and sanctuary for those who cannot make the transition. Army’s Legacy is an all-animal rescue specializing in dogs of all breeds.
In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
If You are a Charity:
All registered 501(c)(3) organizations in the Northeast United States can participate once registered. You can solicit donations and know that the heavy lifting of administration and billing will be taken care of by the Travelers Championship, with no credit card or administration fees. There is no minimum amount organizations must raise to participate or receive the 15% bonus.
If You are a Charity Donor:
It is gratifying to know that 100% of every donation collected goes directly to your specified charity. All administrative costs and online fees are covered to make this possible. Plus, through the Bonus Bucks Pool, the tournament is able to give every charity an additional 15% of every donation to make the deal even sweeter.
