February is National Heart month, which entertainer and rheumatic heart victim
Bobby Darin
promoted throughout his career. On Tuesday February 13, 2001, Wilson Elementary School in Lodi NJ is dedicating their annual
"Jump Rope For Heart"
project to raise money for the Heart Association
in Bobby Darin's memory.
Approved and sanctioned by the Bobby Darin
estate, this will be a wonderful event to make people, young and old alike, aware
of Bobby's life and legacy as well as raise money to find a cure
for Heart disease and other cardiovasular diseases. "Jump Rope for Heart" not only
raises money for heart research but
teaches students the benefits of physical activity, how to keep the heart healthy, and that they can help save lives right in their own community.
This idea comes from
Jimmy Scalia, whose son Anthony attends Wilson Elementary school. We are all very excited
that we can help this worthy cause as well as remember Bobby. A big event is planned
with Bobby's music being spotlighted and possible media coverage.
If you would like to donate to this event , please send your donation to:
Wilson Elementary School
80 Union St.
Lodi NJ, 07644
ATTN: Linda Masullo
Make your check payable to
The American Heart Association , with
"In memory of Bobby Darin" in the memo.
Please make a donation now, no matter how small, you can make a difference.
