Texas Center for the Missing is a Birdies for Charity Beneficiary
How to Participate
Beginning September 10th, Texas Children’s Houston Open fans can make a donation to Texas Center for the Missing for a chance to win an Astros Suite! At the end of the tournament, funds will be tallied up based on total donations. Texas Center for the Missing will receive 100% of the dollars donated at the end of the program AND a GUARANTEED 5% match for all dollars raised!
To donate to the Birdies for Charity program:
MAKE A GIFT. GET A GUESS. Make a gift of $20 or more then make a guess of how many “Birdies” will be made by the PGA Tour Pros during the Texas Children’s Houston Open. The more you give, the more guesses — and chances to win an Astros Suite — you will receive! A maximum of 10 guesses per donor.
Some prior year total Birdies to consider are:
2025: 1,629
2024: 1,431
2022: 1,205
2021: 1,071
2020: 1,221
2019: 1,244
To make your gift by check, mail your gift directly to Birdies for Charity (ATTN: Tia Grippo, Astros Golf Foundation, 501 Crawford St. Houston, TX, 77002) with Texas Center for the Missing on the Memo line. All checks MUST be submitted with a copy of the invoiced generated by PartnerHQ.
ENTER FOR A CHANCE TO WIN AN ASTROS SUITE! With each donation, donors have the opportunity to guess the number of birdies that will be made by PGA Tour Pros during the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
One grand prize will be given to the person who guesses the correct number of Birdies. In case of a tie, a single winner will be randomly selected. One lucky supporter of the Texas Children’s Houston Open Birdies for Charity program will win an Astros Suite Night at Minute Maid Park.
The Suite night date will be determined by the Astros organization and sent to the winner once determined. The Suite night will take place during the 2026 season.
