MESSAGE FROM YUVISH SINGH
Welcome
to my Birdies for the Children web site. Over the past 3 years my
dad and I drove from Canada to the USA for thousands of kilometers
so that I could play in golf tournaments. During this time I had
discussions with by dad about using my golf in a way that would
benefit disadvantaged children around the world. And that is how
the Birdies for the Children Fundraising Campaign began. It has
added a whole new meaning to my golf game. The idea is simple; I
will donate $20 for each birdie and $50 for each eagle I make on
tour, to UNICEF Canada.
I am fortunate
that I am able to play golf, but many children are not so fortunate.
For them each day is a struggle. Millions of children go to bed
hungry each night. It shocks me that each year 9.7 million children
die even before they are 5 years old. War and poverty have denied
them their basic human right, the right to life.
My parents have
taught me to always share and help those that are in need. I launched
my Birdies for the Children Fundraising Campaign, on March 17th,
2007 at the Champions Dinner Party and Fundraiser which was held
in Brampton, Ontario. I donated $300 to UNICEF Canada for the 15
birdies I made in the 2006 junior tour. My guests contributed $2300
to UNICEF.
I invite you
to join me and match my donation to UNICEF Canada. You may donate
for each birdie I make on tour. Let’s speak out in one voice for
the children in the darkest corners of the world. Their voices would
be heard if you join me and donate. Enjoy the web site.
