Sun-Shade Structure

We are proud to announce that with funds raised from the First Annual Dean Hedstrom Foundation Pro-Am Golf Tournament, we have purchased and will donate a Covershots™ sun-shade structure to be erected at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation Driving Range in Clearwater, Florida.

The Covershots™ sun-shade structure will be a permanent structure and will allow the children who participate in the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Academy, and others who use the driving range the opportunity to be better protected from the sun as they practice their golf swings.

The structure is due to be installed February of 2011 and the official ribbon cutting ceremony in April 2011. John Williams Masonry of Tarpon Springs, Florida is donating his expertise and materials for the permits and installation.
