Don't Be Next Foundation

Don't Be Next Foundation It's simple. To give back to our home community in ways to provide young people better lives. The Don't Be Next Foundation
Mission Statement: It's simple.

Background: The Foundation was conceived by best friends, practically brothers, who grew up together in the Rockwellian community of Rockton, Illinois. We are friends that share the core values of family, friendship, and loyalty. Together, we have confronted the struggles of life, including losing two of our own from early deaths. We want to honor these fallen brothers by contributing to the commu

nity in ways that will unify people of different backgrounds, provide support for mental health and addiction, and give to children with special needs. The Don't Be Next Foundation will never be a perfect organization. But like its founding fathers, it will try to adhere to the motto "Progress, not Perfection." We hope when we leave this life that we have done just a little something to have made it a better place, not only for ourselves or our families, but for the individuals and families we call our community. We are honored and privileged to take on this endeavor in memoriam of fallen friends, friends that will never be forgotten. The Don't Be Next Foundation will assure us of that, now and well into the future. Giving: The Foundation will fundraise through golf outings, private donations, and corporate funding. The Board members will invest back into the community through specific donations benefitting children, teens, and young adults in need. The Foundation hopes to accomplish these goals with the same fun, scathing wit, and dripping sarcasm that they have shared throughout their incredible and mostly unheard of 40+ years of friendship.

Thursday night was a special night for The DBN Foundation. We were able to give out two $7,500 scholarships to two very deserving students in honor of Craig Weaver and Patrick Insko. Through the hard work of the Board, our continued support from donors and sponsors, we were able to increase our give from its usual $5,000 per student. These continue to be the largest scholarships ever given out in Hononegah history. Not too bad for a bunch of hellions and Bastards(IYKYK)😀. Check us out at dontbenext.org to view our mission and hey, while you’re there, why not make a tax deductible donation to help the premier charitable foundation in the stateline keep doing great things for the community. Thanks in advance for your support. Enjoy the weekend!

Attention all BBQ lovers and people that like to have a good time. I’d like to announce that The Baseball Tap in historic downtown Cherry Valley, will be hosting a cook off showcasing two legendary pit masters. Ryan Spears, owner of The Baseball Tap will be facing off against William Hendrickson, owner of Whiskey Hotel BBQ in Roscoe. The event is June 21. Ryan has graciously invited The Don’t Be Next Foundation to be a part of the festivities and receive 50% of all BBQ sales as a donation. There will be great door prizes as well as a raffle. Let’s support a great local business and at the same time support the premier charitable foundation in the stateline area. Bring your appetite, because giving never tasted so good!! See you June 21.
