Who Are Ann and Chuck Hermann?

Ann started her professional photography career in 2003 in New York. The following year, along with her husband Chuck, she created Ann Charles Photography.

Hard Drive Shred Day

 
 

Free, Safe Hard Drive Shredding to benefit Ann's Place

Southridge Technology, our IT partner, is hosting their Annual Hard Drive Shredding Fundraiser to benefit Ann’s Place on Wednesday October 9th from 12-2 at 246 Federal Road in Brookfield. When it’s time to get rid of an old device, it’s important to destroy the hard drive by shredding it so that the data is unrecoverable. Southridge is offering free, safe, compliant digital data destruction. Bring your old hard drives for shredding along with a voluntary donation to Ann’s Place and together we can stay safe from cyber criminals and support our neighbors living with cancer.

2024 Birdies for Charity

The Travelers Championship is proud to be a PGA TOUR event that donates 100 percent of net proceeds to charity every year. Since 1952, the tournament has given more than $48 million to the community, and in 2023, the Travelers Championship generated more than $3 million for 180 charities throughout the region. The tournament is committed to supporting our charitable community through Birdies for Charity.

It is a PGA TOUR initiative to build a community of tournaments, players, charities, sponsors, partners, volunteers and fans who are committed to making a social investment by helping others. The majority of the funds raised as a professional sporting league are directed back into the local community where the tournament is held. This means that there isn’t one specific beneficiary of the PGA TOUR. Instead there are nearly 3,000 charities and countless individuals worldwide who are touched by the TOUR’s goal of giving back.

Launched in 2004, Birdies for Charity provides every 501(c)(3) in Connecticut an opportunity to raise awareness for its cause. The program is simply a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the tournament to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. The Travelers Championship sends 100% of collected donations to participating charities.

Each organization that raises money through Birdies for Charity will receive a 15% bonus on top of every donation collected, thanks to the program sponsor Webster Bank!
