On April 8th, Darin would’ve been 51 years young. Knowing him that’s the way he would’ve said it. He would’ve been grateful to have lived to the age of 51. Talked about how he was in great shape. How he could still hoop or play (18) holes of golf, walking the course without a cart. He’d be grateful for his family and his friends, both childhood and those he’d gained through academic and professional experiences. He would’ve been very reflective about his life, dreams realized and dreams deferred and his travels. For Darin family was very important. He truly cherished his loved ones. He enjoyed spending time laughing and reminiscing, talking about old times.
As I think about Darin’s 51st birthday, I also reflect on the fantastic journey of conceiving, standing up, and managing The Darin C. Banks Foundation (DCBF) organization. It has been an eleven year labor of love, hard work and more gratifying than we could ever hope. We’re in the middle of our Annual Scholarship Competition, sorting through tons of scholarship applications, preparing for applicant interviews. DCBF Scholars have matriculated to and graduated from Ivy League, Big Ten and distinguished private colleges and universities. They are emerging leaders working in the business, entertainment, social services, and other industries. They volunteer in their hometowns and abroad, enriching their communities as global citizens.
As we imagine all the things Darin might say and do on his 51st birthday, we're grateful to have known him and to share his legacy through DCBF.
Happy Birthday Darin!
Love,
Michelle D. Banks
Founder & ED, The Darin C. Banks Foundation
