How do i get my data object back out of a list box.

I have an object called rawData as follows

rawData = {name: nameField,
title: titleField,
Day1: Wed,
Day2: Thur,
Day3: Fri,
social: socialBox};

i am sending it to a list box with

toListBox.insertItemAt(rawData.name, rawData, 0);

I then want to retrive some data out of the list box such as but if returns "undefined"

app.alert (toListBox.value.name);

how can i get it to return the string stored in name?
