Captain Caps Charity Golf Tournament Tailwinds of Hope

 Golfers and Supporters

The Fourth Annual Captain Caps Charity Golf Tournament was a memorable day and another huge success! We had a fabulous turnout of 216 golfers and raised a record amount. Tailwinds of Hope raised nearly $41,000. With that amount we will be able to fund more scholarships and most importantly be able to endow the scholarship at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

The day started off with breakfast and putting for the whiskey contest and continued through the ceremonies before we sent the golfers off for the day.

Our Title Sponsor Farmers Insurance-Kelly Stetka Agency started the tournament with the Hawaiian theme on Hole One with the ukulele players, flower leis for every golfer and the golf cart decorated with the Hawaiian theme. That set the example for the Dress Like Zach theme. We had so many other teams that dressed and decorated as well making it difficult to judge who was the best dressed team. It was a huge success so thank you!  All the activities on the golf course were a great success and helped us reach the record amount raised.

In addition to the tournament we hosted a food drive to support Growing Home, a local Westminster non-profit food pantry. With the generosity of our golfers, sponsors and community, we were able to collect over 600 lbs. of non-perishable food items to stock Growing Home's Food Pantry. We want to express how much your generosity on this spectacular day makes a difference in accomplishing our mission.

Congratulations to the Top Three Teams for the Tournament

1st Place- Jim Trott, Robert Bell, Jason Virzi and Dustin Jacoby.

2nd Place- James Rau, Shane Webster, Don Watson, and Brian Smith.

3rd Place- Dennis Hanes, Ron Kennedy, Ken Radamacher and Jimmie Lucero.

Zachary left an indelible mark on our lives, and we are passionate about living, inspiring, and helping others the way he did. We sincerely thank you for joining us in the journey of continuing Zachary's legacy through your generous commitment and donation.  We are deeply moved by your continued support of the foundation and most of all, your friendship.

We could not have imagined a better day but the day kept giving with a magical hole-in-one by one of our inaugural golfer/sponsors Dave Gordon!!!  With that effort he won a Scotty Cameron putter. Congratulations Dave Gordon!!!! Thinking that the event could not be topped, an unexplained missing man formation flyover occurred above the clubhouse just as golfers were coming off the course, maybe you saw it as well.  Those of us near and dear to this Foundation believe there may have been a little bit of Zachary in the air that day.  Keep your calendar free next year for more fun and excitement with the Captain Caps Golf Tournament scheduled for July 29, 2022! 

We are excited to provide an update on our organization's reach and the lives you are helping us to impact. This past spring of 2021, we awarded two scholarships to Mountain Range High School seniors: Ashlyn Hake and Matthew Amack, Westminster Public Schools scholarship, awarded to Omar Montanez, and the Adams State University athletic scholarship to Tyler Barats.  Finally, we were honored to award the inaugural aviation scholarship established at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University to Ryan Smith.
