The Do It for Durrett 80's Night, which is sponsored by Summer Energy, will feature performances by current members of the Texas Rangers, country music star Casey Donahew and, of course, live, silent and date auctions.
The date auctions, which started last year with Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland, will once again include Holland on the auction block. This year teammate Elvis Andrus has also offered up his services as well as Dallas Mavericks star Chandler Parsons.
The live and silent auctions will once again feature everything from sitting courtside with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at a game to baseball bats signed by sluggers like David Ortiz and Nelson Cruz.
"It's going to be a night to remember for sure," said Do It For Durrett Foundation president Emily Jones, who is scheduled to open the show with a musical number for the ages. "The best thing about it, other than the dates, is the support we've had. We can't say enough about everyone that has stepped in. It says so much about how good people are when someone's in need."
The Do It For Durrett Foundation raises money for families impacted by sudden loss. This year's event will benefit the family of Jason Dugger. Dugger, who knew Richard Durrett and worked with him at the Dallas Morning News, died suddenly last year at 41 and left behind a wife (Lauren) and two sons (Evan and Ryan).
