The Bill Darrah Memorial Golf Outing, which was held on June 27th, 2020, raised $11,000 for the MAHS Arts & Communications Department. Shortly after Darrah passed away on September 17, 2019, Rex Rothrock from the Rothrock Foundation met with MAHS staff to discuss the possibility of having a Memorial Golf Outing to raise money in Bill’s name. Bill was an avid photographer in the Middletown community. Bill could be seen taking photos at many of Middletown’s sporting events. He posted his photographs on Facebook and shared them with families who requested copies, all free of charge. Bill also donated his photographs to be used in the school’s yearbook. Bill’s photographs could also be seen in the Press and Journal on a regular basis.
The money that was raised will be used to enrich the Art, Photography, Graphic Arts, and Yearbook programs at Middletown Area High School.
