More than 1,500 Eagles -- Each One with a Story: Eagles Made During PGA TOUR and LPGA Season Result in Record Donation to St. Jude
Date:12/1/2008

as those from the general public who supported the program throughout the year via the Eagles for St. Jude website and online auction.

Singh, better known as "The Big Fijian" by the children being treated for cancer and other deadly diseases at St. Jude, presented the hospital with a personal check for $300,000 -- well above the $30,000 he was slated to donate for the six eagles he carded. Villegas, too, more than doubled the amount he pledged with a donation of $50,000.

Singh said, "When I started with Eagles last year I had no idea how much it would change my life. The more time I spend with these incredible kids, the more I experience their unbelievable courage, the more I want to help them. I find that every time I have a chance for an eagle, I can't help but think about them."

The FedExCup champion is probably referring to his first eagle of the year, made on the 11th hole at Spyglass Hill at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February that he made for Tyler, a St. Jude patient he had visited during a recent trip to the hospital. What made Singh's first eagle memorable -- even bittersweet -- was that Tyler had lost his battle with cancer just three weeks earlier.

"Just like Vijay's eagle he made for Tyler at Spyglass Hill, every eagle has a story behind it," said Sir Allen Stanford, Chairman of Stanford Financial Group. "It's truly an inspiration -- and further testament to the power of Eagles for St. Jude, which has grown exponentially since its inception two years ago," he said. "We are so grateful to Vijay, Camilo and Morgan, the Golf Channel, the PGA TOUR, the LPGA, FedEx and everyone who has so enthusiastically supported it. I am delighted that Stanford can help St. Jude work its miracles. It is our sincere hope that others will join us in supporting Eagles for St. Jude so we can continue to increase awareness for this special place and encourage others to donate
