REALITIES FOR CHILDREN

We’re proud to support Realities For Children, a nonprofit providing emergency and ongoing support for children in Northern Colorado who have been abused, neglected, or are at risk. Through critical services, community outreach, and direct assistance, they offer hope where it’s needed most.

A portion of every merch sale goes directly to Realities For Children—[% or $X per item – confirm amount]—helping fund their life-changing work.

RESPITE CARE

Dude Dad is passionate about supporting Respite Care, an organization that provides short-term, high-quality care for children with developmental disabilities while offering their families essential time to rest and recharge. Their work not only brings joy and connection to the children they serve but also gives parents and caregivers a much-needed break—something that’s often hard to come by.

In 2024, we organized a mini golf fundraiser with all proceeds donated directly to Respite Care. We also attended the 2024 Respite Ball to further support their mission and connect with others who care about the work they do. Later, we took a site tour to see their space firsthand, meet the dedicated staff, and gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day impact they’re making in the lives of so many families.

LET HER RIP

The Dude Dad team was proud to be part of Let Her Rip—an event dedicated to empowering confidence in and behind the boat and on and off the water. Hosted in Fort Collins alongside world champion wakesurfer Ashley Kidd, the event brought together a community of women who are passionate about pushing boundaries, learning new skills, and lifting each other up.

The team co-hosted the event, helped lead wakesurfing sessions, and encouraged participants as they stepped out of their comfort zones and into the water.

HEALTHY SWINGS WITH UCHEALTH

Every year, UCHealth hosts Healthy Swings, a home run derby that teams up with pro football players to hit it big for charity. The 2025 event benefited Next Chapter, supporting veterans and their families.

We were honored to support the event—helping build excitement beforehand through social content, then showing up on game day to take some swings, connect with the community, and keep the momentum going for a great cause.

SERVE 6.8

Dude Dad is committed to supporting Serve 6.8, a nonprofit that mobilizes, resources, and connects local partners to care for people across Northern Colorado. Through a network of over 50 partners, Serve 6.8 meets physical needs—such as food, clothing, hygiene items, and financial support.

In 2024, when the Loveland area was impacted by the Alexander Mountain Fire, Serve 6.8 stepped in immediately to provide relief to those affected. In response, we launched our Colorado Strong shirt campaign, with 100% of the proceeds going directly toward fire recovery efforts. The funds helped supply essential items and support to families facing unexpected loss. Being part of this effort allowed us to stand alongside our community and Serve 6.8 in a tangible, meaningful way—offering not just help, but hope.
