Vermont Birdie-Bash
About the Bash
The Birdie-Bash is a family friendly fundraising event to benefit programs at Essex CHIPS that directly support youth all over Vermont. It consists of 3-4 separate mini-tournaments. Teams are comprised of 3 players. Each team will play 5-7 games in a tournament according to the official Birdie-Bash rules (which are a bit different than regular badminton rules).
Tournament winners are awarded trophies, but "Wild Card" trophies are also given at the end of each tournament for a variety of outstanding achievements by players and teams, such as Team Spirit, Best Costuming, Enthusiasm, and more.
Teams must pre-register online and fill out a consent form prior to playing. Because the he Birdie-Bash is a fundraiser, teams are encouraged to find sponsors or donate themselves.
The Birdie-Bash is growing in size every year and is fun for the entire family!
