Denis Barry Foundation Fundraiser
The Hitman Blues Band (trio) will be performing at a backyard fund raiser for the Denis Barry Foundation. The DBF works with the families of terminally ill children. Unfortunately, here in America, these families often lose everything due to medical expenses. When the child dies, they are left broken – emotionally and financially. Often, they can’t even afford to pay for the burial of their child.
That’s where DBF comes in. They handle everything, including transport of the body if death occurs out of state. There is no cost to the family. The people who run the foundation don’t get paid – quite the opposite. They often reach into their own pockets to help the funding.
There is no charge to get into the fundraiser. There will be food, drinks (you can also BYOB), and a swimming pool. Money is raised from raffles, 50/50, and donations.
