This Friday, October 6th marks the third annual Bowl For Ronnie Celebrity Bowling Tournament, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. Taking place at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, CA, the event aims to raise more funds to benefit cancer research and education – last year’s Bowl For Ronnie brought in $36,500 for the cancer charity, which is now in its eighth year of raising awareness and much-needed funding for cancer research.

Would you like to bowl for a great cause alongside your favorite rockers?

Bowl For Ronnie is giving fans a chance to bid for a spot on one of this year’s competing teams! The teams available to join are captained by drive time deejay Gary Moore and Stew Herrera of Los Angeles’ rock radio station KLOS, and event host and renowned heavy metal personality/DJ Eddie Trunk, whose team took the top prize trophy last year. Bid for your chance to win a spot on Team KLOS here or Team Eddie Trunk here.

In addition to bowling with rockers, each package includes red carpet entry and access to the VIP pre-party. All funds raised will benefit the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. Hurry, bidding for the KLOS lane ends on Wednesday at 6:30PM PT and Eddie Trunk’s lane ends on Wednesday at 7 PM PT.
