We had our first fundraiser on November 2, 2007. We hosted a golf tournament and dinner. We had many Miami Dolphins attend, including our Emcee – Radio/TV personality and former Miami Dolphin – Joe Rose and Nat Moore, Dick Anderson, Jim Kiick, Twan Russell, Terry Kirby, Jeff Cross, OJ McDuffie, Shawn Wooden, Kijana Carter and many, many more!! We also had a live auction, silent auction, raffles, a dinner, awards, singing sensation Audrey Assad, portrait presentations to 10 wonderful families that lost a child or children and of course a beautiful tribute presentation of Bobby’s life.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

The 1st Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation – Evening Festivities
Testimonials From the Event

My son, Matthew and I enjoyed the event and the extensive network of friends and family certainly did Bobby proud based on the organization and turnout.
I mentioned to you that Matt works at the Publix (32 hrs a week) at Hiatus and Taft in Pembroke Pines and goes to school (BCC) full-time. I did not realize the strong connection to the Publix family based on my initial involvement via Cathy. I became involved in “Healing Hearts” based on my belief that it was the right thing to do.
Thanks, Bob, and On The Water Front (OTWF) was happy to participate in your event. Keep us on your “events” calendar!
Regards,
D.M.

I truly feel blessed and honored to have been a part of such a wonderful event. All of you offered your friendship and made me feel so welcomed into “the family” that Healing Hearts has become! I would love to get together for lunch whenever you all are free and I guess we need to start planning the next event? Right???
You and your incredible family have taken your personal tragedy and turned it into an opportunity to help others in need. You have touched and will continue to touch so many with the best and most unique gift in the world… you.
Call me anytime you’re free, I’d love to hear the feedback! I told John everyone is talking about the tournament and the night and it’s still being talked about 2 weeks later! Incredible! You guys floored Joe Rose and some of the players and that’s hard to do!!!
Warmest Regards,

It's 11pm....I just got home from the dinner...Res, I can't tell you how much it meant to me to be a part of such an amazing event. I had the BEST day...I haven't laughed so much in one day! People really are innately good hearted, I love being a part of an event that shows such a coming together of people. Everyone was so friendly, I felt like I knew EVERYONE...by the end of the night I had made so many new friends. We all shared in something we all passionately felt. We came together, we ALL had fun, and we all shared in sorrow. I hope you and your family can see how much love, compassion, and genuine respect so many people feel for you and your family. I truly believe Bobby was on that stage with you with a swelled chest full of pride...and I know it might sound weird but my heart dropped when I heard Nick win the 50/50. Like Bobby DEFINETLY did that for his Lil' brother. I know its dumb, but i so believe in that. that they have that kind of presence. I believe my brother does too. It comforts me. I hope it comforted Nick tonight.
It touched my heart to take a step back and REALLY take it all in...I mean the enormity of it all. It's sad that most of the time it takes a tragedy to see it, but its comforting to know its there when you need it. I had goose bumps when we went to the banquet room to unload. I took one step into that room and had to stop for a moment to catch my breath. That's when the enormity of it really hit me. It was an amazing feeling. I felt so honored to be a part of it. I've known you for a long time ...you've seen me through some not so good times, and you did it with an open heart. You are an amazing person, Bob, and I am so glad you are my friend. xo

Bob, Diane, Michele, Nick,
Well, you guys pulled it off! I can't express to you enough how well your dream came to reality as your event deeply touched over 800 people including Dottie and I.
I have not felt the pain your family has endeared however, I don't know if I would of had the foresight to handle it the way you and your family has. I can't say enough about Michele and Nick as you and Diane have a wonderful family that includes Bobby as you will ever allow him to leave your family.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your life as well as honoring me by asking me to be on your Board. Everyone has been talking about Friday night.
Friends Forever,

Bob,
My son -in law heard your radio broadcast this past Monday, talking about the success of The First Healing Heart function.
It's incredible to see all the families who were Blessed by your vision to Heal all these Broken Hearts.
Rob in Produce commented to me after that he had wished he had something like this before to cope with the loss of his son.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of Friday. Your Family truly Blessed many Lives.
Love,

Hi Bob,
I wanted to thank you for allowing me to participate in the Healing Hearts Foundation
Golf Event. It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of this event.
You and your family are truly an inspiration to everyone... You have taken a great personal tragedy
and turned it into something so wonderful for other families that are suffering. Your faith and love
were very transparent throughout the planning of the event and during the dinner when you spoke
about your son.
You have done your son's memory proud by celebrating his life and creating this worthwhile
foundation in his memory.
I hope to continue to provide any support that I can for this foundation.
Please let me know what I can do to help.
Kind Regards,
S. Rameriz


This event was amazing! I thought we had a great team and everyone worked well together. It was such a rewarding experience and to see so many people in attendance for such a great cause. Thanks for the opportunity to work with such a terrific team! I felt privileged to be a part of it.
I agree with Scott on the opportunity of us making great friends. It is amazing how we all were not familiar with each other at the beginning and we grew as friends as time went on. I felt very comfortable from the very beginning working with all of you. Thanks Bob for putting us together!
Special thanks to Bob and Diane for allowing us to be a part of the Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation! The Resciniti Family is amazing!

Absolutely incredible event. Congratulations to you and your entire board as well as the golf committee. The event was a huge success despite the financial aspect which I'm sure was also awesome. I give you a lot of credit for your composure on stage during this difficult but rewarding situation. You are a true class act and a hero to Bobby. All my best and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this great cause...

I am a parent of a 3 year boy, and he means the world to me, as many parents always say. I cannot imagine being without him, so when you spoke of your son…and the hospital room…it made me cry and hurt. It affected the entire room, we were all sniffling, and I kept wiping my face with all the tears. I just can’t imagine the pain you and all those other parents went through. I am glad you guys are doing something that spins your gears forward, because unfortunately, there are so many parents out there that do need help after such a big loss. Thank you once again, for sharing and being you.

Dear Bobby Resciniti Healing Hearts Foundation,
I can't begin to express my feelings. When we decided to attend your dinner event, it was merely out of our deepest respect for Bob. We are so happy we went. It was the most moving experience we ever had. The entire evening was amazing from the very beginning to the very ending.
You are doing such a good thing.

Bob,
It's been over six month since the golf and dinner event and people are still talking about it. It was the most compelling and heartfelt experience I and many others experienced. We can't wait for the next one and you can count on us to volunteer.
I am sure Bobby is looking down on Mom, Dad, Michelle, Nicholas and the Board of Directors with the utmost pride.
My deepest love, admiration and respect.
