Dara's 11th Annual Tribute to Bob Marley
posted (February 8, 2013)
And while they are catering for those who can afford Lobster Grassroots Philanthropist Dara Robinson is fundraising for the less fortunate. This weekend he is having his 11th annual Bob Marley Birthday tribute concert. The concert is not only to celebrate the life of the reggae icon - it is to also raise money for needy families.

On Wednesday he held a food drive that he say turned out to be successful. But with all that he is still urging everyone to come out to the concert this weekend and donate at least one can of food. The Tribute to Bob Marley Concert will be back to back - with Saturday night in Orange Walk and Sunday night in Belize City.

"First I want to thank God most of all because the visions I got to do it the Wednesday on Bob Marley birthday and separated from the concert was the best idea. I have never yet over the six years of doing food drive receive so many food and still it continue coming in. There are so many other businesses, schools, common people, everybody is chipping in. I guess after I brought the message and they heard it more - from the teachers conscious that the situation is grim but I am grateful to do my part and get my support."

"Like I said this is my 6th year that I am doing the feeding program. Whatever we could share meaning I look for single mothers; like a granny who may need stuff and sometimes even the kids parents benefit from the program. Majority of the items we will use at the program."

"This weekend starting on Saturday, I go to Orange Walk and I wish Orange Walk the best success. I am going over there with my big screen and do my work but immediately we come back to the City which is Sunday 10th February where I do the tribute concert that people normally come out and support. It is together spirit, it is a reggae show with message and it's to bring people together. With so much frustration we will all need it and who better to pay tribute than Bob Marley who is the man with the most message and the most talk about love and togetherness."

On Saturday night gates at the Banquitas House of Culture in Orange Walk Town opens at 8pm and on Sunday evening at 4pm at the MCC Tennis Courts in Belize City. Tickets are only 5 dollars.
