Steve Stricker and Andy North have a long list of accomplishments on and off the golf course. Steve and American Family Insurance partnered in 2013 to create the Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation. And in 2016, they brought the American Family Insurance Championship to Madison. This PGA TOUR Champions event has raised more than $4.7 million for charity in its first three years. Andy North has hosted the Andy North & Friends charitable event to benefit the UW Carbone Cancer Center for 10 years, raising more than $10.5 million.
Think of Birdies for Health like a walk-a-thon, but instead of pledging per mile, you’re doing it per birdie made during the American Family Insurance Championship.
Let’s say you pledge $0.05, and by the end of the championship, 878 total birdies have been made. Your gift would come to $43.90.
You will receive a reminder after the championship concludes highlighting the number of birdies that were made and the corresponding dollar amount needed to fulfill your pledge.
