A Thanksgiving Meal with Friends and the Community

Make-A-Day has so many things to be thankful for every year: our staff, the guests we serve, and YOU! As a supporter of M.A.D., you make doing what we do to advocate for the unsheltered and impoverished easier than if we didn’t have your support. Join us and our guests for a Thanksgiving meal and celebrate what we’re thankful for.

How’s Your Swing?

Join us as we celebrate the 5th Annual Caleb B. Cooperrider Golf Outing Cup at the Blacklick Woods Golf Course. Register your 4 Man scramble and you’ll receive a complimentary lunch and a chance to win prizes and trophies.

Caleb Cooperrider was the founder of Dude Charity and a staple of philanthropy in Columbus. Caleb was a dear friend to Make A Day and those we serve and we miss him dearly. Caleb’s legacy continues on through Dude Charity, his family and acts of kindness all over the Midwest in his name. Dude Charity started this golf outing and brought Make A Day on in 2019 and we are honored to keep it going in his namesake.
