HIGHLIGHTS of the RAFFLE/AUCTION 2008 At
the Darin Lifetime Event 07 an impromptu mini auction and donation bucket
resulted in collecting $1000. After
careful research it was decided that the Children’s Heart Foundation of Nevada
(CHFN) was the perfect match for this donation, Mr. Darin, his family, friends
and fans. In 2008 we became very
serious in our efforts to raise money in Bobby’s name to benefit the CHFN.
An on-line raffle, on-site raffle, silent auction and live auction
(including concert ticket sales) resulted in our collecting over $10,500.
That’s right: ***Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars*** To

It
was simply amazing to present that check to the Children’s Heart Foundation
knowing that Mr. Darin would have been so proud of his fans and what we are
accomplishing in his memory. PLANS
for the 2009 RAFFLE/AUCTION Plans
are fasting taking shape for the Darin Lifetime Event 09 RAFFLE and AUCTION.
Preliminary plans include an on-line raffle, on-site raffle and an
exciting fun-filled live auction. We
are still in the process of contacting potential donors and collecting items so
we are not ready to announce the items just yet, but our hope is that we will
have a wide assortment of real Darin memorabilia for you to bid on. Exciting
details to follow so check back often. Please
