Raiders Darren Waller talks about his addiction problems and how to overcome

  / ronfutrell   LAS VEGAS, August 27, 2020 – Las Vegas Raiders Tight End #83, Darren Waller will hold his first annual gala, “Beyond the Wall” at Dragon Ridge Country Club on Monday, September 28 from 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Darren Waller Foundation and its mission to equip youth to avoid and overcome addiction to drugs and alcohol. The foundation provides a safe, affirming, accepting, and encouraging environment for students and young adults that will ultimately lead to the prevention of substance abuse and misuse. “My foundation will create an environment where self-awareness, rigorous honesty, empathy, and humility are the new cool,” said Darren Waller. “That success isn’t in what we have and who approves of us; it’s loving what we do and how we do it while loving ourselves in the process.” The gala will feature Waller and Las Vegas celebrities, foundation supporters, Raiders fans, and Vegas' charitable community enjoying a spirited cocktail reception, three-course plated dinner and exciting live and silent auctions that feature exclusive Darren Waller and Las Vegas Raiders experiences. Social distancing guidelines will be enforced and the event will be in full compliance with current and future government regulations. For those that cannot attend in-person, a virtual, live-stream event will also be available for fans. A password-protected link will be sent before the event for those that would like to attend from the comfort of their home. A gourmet meal kit of steak and wine will be sent the day of the gala and virtual attendees will also have access online to auctions during the event. This event will support The Darren Waller Foundation's community outreach programs all while helping those in need.
