DURHAM, N.C. – As the regular season starts to wind down, the Duke golf programs have reached the 10K mark in earnings in 2025-26 for the Birdies for Babies program, which benefits the Duke Children's Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units.
So far this season, the Duke men's and women's golf programs have raised $10,582.25 and have now reached $142,453.62 over the nearly nine years since Virginia Elena Carta created the program.
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. For more information, click here.
The women's team will close the regular season at the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational March 23-24 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The men's program will next compete in the Valspar Intercollegiate Invitational March 23-24 in Palm City, Florida and has three regular season tournaments remaining.
The creation of the Birdies for Babies program was spearheaded by Carta. A native of Udine, Italy, Carta was a four-time All-ACC selection and the 2016 NCAA Individual Champion. The 2016 WGCA All-America and Honda Award winner turned in an NCAA-record 16-under-par ledger of 272 as a rookie to register her first collegiate victory. She became one of only four Blue Devils to win both a NCAA Individual and team NCAA title.
Duke Children's is a 180-bed inpatient hospital within Duke University Hospital. The central outpatient clinic, the McGovern-Davison Children's Health Center, is a 66,000 square-foot facility that is adjacent to the hospital, and combines medical and surgical specialty services in one colorful, child-focused location. Additionally, there are numerous Duke Children's primary care and specialty care clinics across North Carolina to care for the needs of children throughout the state. Duke Children's is one of the largest health care providers for children in the Southeast, and the only children's hospital in North Carolina to be ranked in all 10 specialties by the U.S. News & World Report.
