Today in the heat of winter from the San Fernando Valley I was invited to the Niji offices for the check presentation from “Dime Bash 2010” held at the Key Club on 10/29 which I was also honored to DJ for as well. That night over eleven thousand dollars was raised for the "Stand Up and Shout" Cancer Fund, a charity in memory of Ronnie James Dio to help find a cure for stomach cancer.
In attendance was Wendy Dio, Rita Haney, from Monster Energy Brent Hamilton & Danielle Dietrich, Dean Schachtel(Niji GM),Dave Lombardo (Slayer),Paul Newman (PRS Lighting)and Dio's Physician Dr. Kapoor both on the Charity advisory board and who I last saw at the Memorial for Ronnie and gave one of many heartfelt empassioned speeches.
There will be more events in the future but for now it was good to see that the awareness is an ongoing campaign and by the turnout with everyone involved today and last week this can only be a positive outlook of progress.
