Do It For Durrett: A Decade of Giving

Do It For Durrett is going BIG for our 10th Anniversary! The all-day event on Friday, November 8, 2024, tees off at 9:00 a.m. at the Grapevine Golf Course as we continue to partner with NextStep Recruiting for our annual Charity Golf Tournament. For our seventh straight year, we will hit the course with a four-man scramble to navigate through drink stands and on-course games as we vie for the coveted winner’s trophy!

The party keeps going as we head to Texas Live! for the main event, including music by the Josh Abbott Band! Doors open at 6 p.m. and the fun starts immediately with music by DJ CStatz, the official DJ for the Texas Rangers. The live auction will kick off at 7 p.m. and goes through the evening as the Josh Abbott Band sings their hits such as “She’s Like Texas’ and “Oh, Tonight”! The Silent Auction ends at 9:30pm CST.

The foundation has raised more than $2 million and helped 250+ DFW families impacted by sudden loss. We hope to see you there so we can continue to give back to those that need it most.

On June 17, 2014, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex lost a treasure when sports personality Richard Durrett died suddenly at 38. Richard was survived by a then-pregnant wife and two small children. Richard’s zest for life and desire to help anyone and everyone led to the Do It For Durrett Foundation as a way to honor his memory and help working-class families in the Metroplex.

The Do It For Durrett Foundation (DIFD) is focused on raising funds for area working-class families that have been impacted by a sudden loss. The new non-profit was established to provide financial support to the surviving members of the families so that they can try to focus on the day-to-day job of trying to move on without a loved one. While it’s impossible to make up for the loss, the Foundation’s goal is to make the burdens that often accompany a sudden loss a little easier.
