He was also an outstanding advocate for WDSRA. Charlie lived his life in an admirable way and as a result\, left this world a better place than how he found it. We are proud to have been a part of Charlie’s family and he will always be a part of the WDSRA family. Charlie Long was a long time friend to WDSRA. His son Andy has been participating in WDSRA programs since 1977. \nBecause of the profound affect he had on the WDSRA family\, in 2009 the Golf Classic was renamed in his honor and the Charlie Long Award was created to celebrate those individuals who continue to live their lives in the remarkable fashion that Charlie lived his. \nWe are proud to have been a part of Charlie’s family and he will always be a part of the WDSRA family. \nLearn more about Charlie Long here. \n
