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.

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.
