DURHAM, N.C. – With the fall men’s and women’s golf seasons coming down the stretch in October, the Blue Devils have currently raised $2,310.30 so far this year for the Birdies for Babies program, which benefits the Duke Children’s Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units.
The program is still taking pledges and donations for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. It is easy to sign up, just head here.
Over the eight-year history of the program, the Blue Devils have brought in $126,644.10 for the children.
If you are interested in supporting Duke’s partnership with Duke Children’s, you can pledge for each birdie made during the season or make a one-time donation. Pledges start at $0.50 and higher increments are welcome. If the Blue Devils register an eagle (counts as two birdies), albatross (three birdies) or hole-in-one (four birdies), they will count as stated.
Duke Children’s is a 180-bed inpatient hospital within Duke University Hospital. The central outpatient clinic, the McGovern-Davison Children’s Health Center, is a 66,000 square-foot facility that is adjacent to the hospital, and combines medical and surgical specialty services in one colorful, child-focused location. Additionally, there are numerous Duke Children’s primary care and specialty care clinics across North Carolina to care for the needs of children throughout the state. Duke Children’s is one of the largest health care providers for children in the Southeast, and the only children’s hospital in North Carolina to be ranked in all 10 specialties by the U.S. News & World Report.
