Golf Raises Over 4K in the Fall Via Birdies for Babies Program

DURHAM, N.C. – Both the Duke men’s and women’s golf programs have concluded their respective fall seasons and with that the Blue Devils raised $4,028.80 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. 
 
Both the men and women each registered wins in the fall at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational (women) and the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate (men), while Ethan Evans and Andie Smith each collected an individual title in the fall. 
 
Over the eight-year history of the program, the Blue Devils have brought in $128,362.60 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.
