RSM, one of the United States’ leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services, has announced, in conjunction with the PGA TOUR, the start of the fifth annual RSM Birdies Fore Love charitable giving platform through an on-course competition over the autumn swing of the 2022-2023 PGA TOUR season.
In 2018, RSM expanded its successful internal Birdies Fore Love program and created RSM Birdies Fore Love to recognize and award the top-three finishers in total birdies and eagles from all autumn our events. The top three finishers earn $300,000, $150,000 and $50,000 for charities of their choice. In addition, the player who records the most birdies (or better) in each event earns $50,000 for a charity of his choice. In total, Tour players will direct $1 million to charities during this portion of the schedule through RSM Birdies Fore Love annually.
“Since The RSM Classic began in 2010, in coordination with the PGA TOUR and the Davis Love Foundation, we have raised more than $28 million for charities that support education and organizations that support children and families in the areas of hunger, housing and health,” said Andy Bosman, chief marketing officer with RSM. “Each year more than 90 organizations across the US and in Canada benefit from the generosity of our colleagues and our clients, and the stories of the impact reinforce the importance of stewardship and supporting all of our communities.”
The program begins with this week’s Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, and concludes with The RSM Classic in Sea Island, Georgia on November 20.
Winning players from this year’s RSM Birdies Fore Love program will be encouraged to designate funds to charitable organizations that align with the RSM US Foundation’s mission of building tomorrow’s leaders and improving the lives of youth.
Last season, players donated their winnings to a wide range of charities, including Northern Texas PGA Foundation, Minnesota Section PGA Foundation, Cullen Children’s Foundation, Gigi’s Playhouse Fargo, Cook Children’s Hospital, Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Justin Thomas Foundation, Mia’s Miracles, and the Scott and the Kim Verplank Foundation.
