The Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary are again participating in Birdies for Charity and invite you to “chip in” your support! Birdies for Charity, an area-wide fundraiser held in conjunction with the John Deere Classic PGA Golf Tournament, is scheduled for July 5–9, in Silvis, Illinois. We are blessed and grateful for the generosity of friends like you who so often contribute to this activity.
The BVM area of focus for 2023 is to install a fully equipped kitchen adjacent to St. Joseph Hall at the Motherhouse in Dubuque, Iowa. This large meeting space is utilized on a regular basis by the sisters for educational and informational meetings, funeral dinners, jubilee celebrations, social gatherings, and various other group activities. Presently there are no kitchen facilities near St. Joseph Hall. When meals or refreshments are served, they must be prepared and transported from another area on campus or delivered by a caterer. A kitchen would also make it easier to prepare for events and clean up after.
Participating is easy. Simply visit:

When you make a donation to Birdies for Charity, you are eligible to win prizes and we will receive bonus funds. The BVMs will receive every single penny of your donation, plus a bonus of at least five percent from Birdies for Charity. All administrative costs are paid by John Deere as the sponsor, so this is a great win-win opportunity!
