Let Your Voice Be Heard for Ryan Diviney

An all-day fundraiser for Ryan Diviney, an Ashburn resident who remains comatose after a brutal beating on November 7, 2009 while attending college, will be held on Saturday December 17, 2011 at the Mediterranean Breeze & Sports Bar in Herndon, VA.  The fundraiser, “Let Your Voice Be Heard for Ryan Diviney,” will begin at 11:00 a.m. with balloon art and face painting for the kids, baked goods and home/holiday items for sale, plus early bidding on silent auction items.  A percentage of restaurant sales throughout the entire event will go to Ryan.  In the evening, there will be a regular raffle with prizes of gift cards, cash, electronics, and other items, along with a 50/50 raffle, and announcement of the silent auction winners.  Prizes include but are not limited to signed NFL merchandise, themed gift baskets, exercise equipment and more.   Karaoke begins at 7:00 p.m. “Let Your Voice Be Heard” invites you and your family to come and support Ryan and his family.  If you are unable to attend but would like to help/ send a donation, checks should be made payable to The Ryan Diviney Special Needs Trust and mailed to:

DRC Insurance Agency, 773 Station Street, Herndon, VA  20170.   Raffle Prize and Silent Auction Items are still being accepted and are very much appreciated.  They can be dropped off/mailed to the same address but must be received by December 12th.  Please include your name/company name so proper credit can be given at the event.
