Bring Caleb "The Dude" Cooperrider Home

Donation protected
Dudes and Dudettes,

As many of you know, our main Dude, Caleb "Fluff" Cooperrider was recently in a fatal accident while on a trip to Maine.

We the board of Caleb's charity, Dude Charity,  are seeking donations (or as Caleb called them "abidements") to help facilitate bringing Caleb home to his family. The cost is over $10,000 for the transport from Maine back to Ohio. As the board of his charity we are here to represent his family who will be given all the funds from this platform. Anything left after expenses will go toward his memorial and to the charity. 

This fall Caleb was planning another Dude Fest at Cooperrider Farm in Croton. Details will be coming soon about the Dude Memorial to honor Caleb this fall. There are so many people he has impacted directly and indirectly so we are planning Dude Memorial keeping safety in mind but the kind of party our Dude deserves. 

Given so many were lifted by the hope and help Caleb provided we are asking for that same type of love now for his family. 

Caleb's last abidement was the gift of life to others through being an organ donor. His family and hospital staff honored our Dude and his acts of kindness with a final pass through the hospital in Maine. Along the way they played Bob Dylan's "Man in Me" while the family shouted "O-H" and the hospital staff responded with "I-O".  We know his heart, lungs, liver and possibly more were used to save lives after his final surgery on August 9th. 

"Dude On To Others As You Would Have Them Dude On To You."
