Beats for Beckham


Five-month-old Beckham has been through so much including open-heart surgery. He was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) meaning the left side of his heart did not develop. His mom and dad, Lindsey and Beto, say they are hoping for a miracle. 



Life in Deep Ellum, a local cultural center built for the artistic, social, economic, and spiritual benefit of Deel Ellum and urban Dallas, has organized Beats for Beckham. The city-wide garage sale, festival and fundraiser takes place 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 20. 

The goal for the event is to raise money to help with Beckham’s hospital bills, with 80 percent going to help the family and 20 percent going to a foundation that researches HLHS in Beckham’s name. Find out how you can help, and be sure to get your tickets for Beats for Beckham.

Etsy Dallas is a proud sponsor of the event, which will feature 10 bands and DJs on two stages, zip lines, food trucks, The Dallas Mavs Dancers, bounce houses and lots of shopping. Etsy Dallas will have a team de-stash sale with all proceeds being donated. We will also have a make-and-take table set up. Come say hello. 

We love you, Beckham!
