2026 BOWL FOR RONNIE Celebrity Bowling Party Announced

09-14-2026

(W3) The BOWL FOR RONNIE Celebrity Bowling Party, the annual event benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, is set for Thursday, November 12, 2026. The event will once again take place at PINZ Bowling Center in Studio City, California and will be hosted by television and radio personality Eddie Trunk, who is heard on SiriusXM's 137 Faction Talk channel.

BOWL FOR RONNIE will feature an always-exciting celebrity bowling tournament and a raffle drawing for prizes and memorabilia. Last year's bowling event sold out well in advance and brought in more than $85,000 for the charity, whose mission is to raise awareness and much-needed funding for cancer research.

The evening of fun, food, and, of course, bowling with rockers and celebrities competing for trophies kicks off at 6:30 PM with open bowling and a VIP pre-party for lane sponsors, celebrities and their guests. Previous BOWL FOR RONNIE events have drawn entertainers and artists such as Jack Black and Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Phil Buckman and Brett Scallions of Fuel, John Bush and Joey Vera of Armored Saint, Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses), Fred Coury (Cinderella), Robbie Crane and Ricky Warwick of Black Star Riders, Phil Demmel (Violence, Machine Head), Lita Ford; Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Jesse Hughes and Jennie Vee of Eagles of Death Metal, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Richie Sambora, Shavo (System of a Down), George Thorogood, Brian Tichy (Whitesnake), and the members of Yachtley Crew, who last year won First Place among the celebrity teams.

This year's celebrity bowlers will be announced shortly in addition to an eBay auction for a place on Eddie Trunk's celebrity team.
