Dimebash 2010 To Donate Over $10,000 To Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund
November 3, 2010, 14 years ago
On Friday, November 5th at 11am Pacific time, Wendy Dio (wife of the late BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF singer Ronnie James Dio) and Rita Haney (wife of the late Dimebag Darrell; ex-PANTERA, DAMAGEPLAN), will present a donation of over ten thousand dollars raised from last week's Dimebash 2010 to the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, a charity in memory of Ronnie James Dio to help find a cure for stomach cancer, which took his life in May of 2010.
In the serving spirit of the late, great "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, Dimebash 2010 took place on October 29th. All proceeds from the show including ticket sales, raffles, merchandise and drink specials benefitted the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. A DVD of the event was filmed and recorded for near future release with proceeds from the disc's sales also going towards the fund.
