The Do It For Durrett Foundation raises money for families impacted by sudden loss. This year's event will benefit the family of Julian Madison. Madison, who was known to many as a DJ for the Dallas Cowboys on rally days at AT&T Stadium, was studying for his PhD in counseling when he died suddenly last year at the age of 39.
Madison and his wife Gabrielle were in the process of adopting two children. Gabrielle moved forward with the adoption of Alma, 6, and King, 2.
" He was a very giving person," Gabrielle Madison said. " When I say that, I mean he was giving of his time, his resources, his knowledge and his network. He did that all the time. He was very big into helping others. That's what I want my kids to know."
Tickets for the event are on sale now at doitfordurrett.com.
