Echoes of the Forest has been selected as an official charity partner of the 2026 Biltmore Championship Asheville’s Birdies for Charity program — and every guess is a chance to support the artisans and communities rebuilding after Hurricane Helene.
Here’s how it works. From now through September 16, you make a donation of at least $20 to Echoes of the Forest and guess the total number of birdies PGA TOUR players will make during the Biltmore Championship Asheville, September 17–20 at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. Guess closest — without going over — and you win The Ultimate Biltmore Experience: a three-night stay for two in a Chateau Tier suite, dining at The Dining Room, a guided tour of Biltmore House, and more.
But here’s what makes it matter beyond the prize. The tournament has put up a $50,000 bonus pool, split among participating charities based on how much each one raises. So every dollar you give Echoes does double duty — it supports our work and increases our share of that bonus. The more our community shows up, the further it goes.
Your donation supports exactly what you’ve watched us build: Helene-salvaged timber transformed into public art by local Appalachian artisans, from the YMI bench in downtown Asheville to the carvings coming to the Cradle of Forestry this fall.
Every guess is a birdie for the cause.
