Caleb B Cooperrider Golf Outing for the Homeless

Caleb Cooperrider was the founder of Dude Charity and was a dear friend of Make-A-Day. He used to host a Dude Charity golf outing in collaboration with Make-A-Day, and was a frequent fixture at Make-A-Day events. Tragically, a car accident took Caleb's life 2 years ago. In his honor, Make-A-Day took over the golf outing and renamed it the Make-A-Day Caleb B. Cooperrider Cup. The championship trophy is a beautiful carved piece made from wood from his family farm. Make-A-Day is honored to carry forth Caleb's name, and charitable work, with this important annual tradition.
