Rockin’ For A Cause: 2025 Bowl For Ronnie Bowling Bash Hits Studio City! on ONDA LA

Strike a Pose and a Pin: BOWL FOR RONNIE 2025 is Here!

Yo, LA fam, it’s time to lace up those bowling shoes and roll with the rockstars! The 2025 BOWL FOR RONNIE Celebrity Bowling Party is locked in for Thursday, November 13, at PINZ Bowling Center on Ventura Blvd in Studio City - the heart of SoCal’s entertainment vibe. This annual bash, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, is all about mixing Hollywood glitz with a down-to-earth cause, raising crucial funds for cancer research.

Hosted by the one and only Eddie Trunk - the voice of rock on SiriusXM’s 103 Faction Talk - this event promises a night of strikes, spares, and serious star power. Last year’s event was a total sell-out, pulling in over $70,000 for the charity, and 2025 is gearing up to be even bigger with that signature LA energy. Think red-carpet-worthy moments with a side of pizza and shoe rentals!

Rockstars, Raffles, and VIP Vibes

The action kicks off at 6:30 PM with open bowling, plus a VIP pre-party for lane sponsors and celebs until 8:30 PM. We’re talking a full-on celebrity bowling tournament, raffle prizes, and memorabilia that’ll have collectors losing their minds. It’s the ultimate mix of fun, food, and fierce competition as rockers and Hollywood heavyweights battle it out for trophies.

Last year’s tourney saw some serious game with a winning team featuring Matt Duncan of DC4, Jerry Dixon from Warrant, Scott Courtright, Sean McNabb of Dokken and Quiet Riot fame, and actor Star Fields. While this year’s lineup of celebrity bowlers is still under wraps, expect the usual suspects - think past attendees like Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D, Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters, and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. Plus, there’s buzz about an eBay auction for a spot on Eddie Trunk’s own team. Talk about a Malibu-style exclusive!

“BOWL FOR RONNIE isn’t just a party - it’s a chance for the rock community to come together and strike back at cancer with everything we’ve got,” said Eddie Trunk, reflecting on the event’s impact.

How to Join the Party and Make a Difference

Want in on this epic night? “Early Bird” Lane Sponsorships are up for grabs until October 1 for $2,500 - snagging you a private lane for six bowlers, VIP party passes, drink tickets, custom branding on the lane screens, and more. Miss the early deal, and it’s $3,000 after October 1, so don’t sleep on it! For those just wanting to soak up the vibes, spectator tickets are available now for $75 a pop.

This isn’t just a bowling night - it’s a tribute to the legendary Ronnie James Dio, who lost his battle with gastric cancer in 2010. The Dio Cancer Fund, a 501(c)(3) charity, has already raised over $2 million for prevention, research, and education, supporting projects at places like M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and UCLA’s School of Dentistry for cutting-edge early detection tests. Every pin knocked down at PINZ helps fund this life-changing work.

So, gather your crew, channel some Sunset Strip swagger, and head to Studio City for a cause that rocks harder than a double encore. For more deets or to snag your spot, hit up diocancerfund.org. Let’s bowl like we’re headlining Coachella - for Ronnie!
