Eddie Trunk will captain a team of celebrity bowlers he is assembling and a place on his celebrity team will be auctioned off to the highest bidder on eBay in the coming weeks. 

Bowl for Ronnie, an evening of fun, food, a raffle drawing for prizes and memorabilia and, of course, bowling with rockers and celebrities competing for trophies, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with open bowling and a VIP pre-party for lane sponsors, celebrities and their guests. The Pinz Bowling Center is located at 12655 Ventura Blvd in Studio City.

One hundred percent of the net proceeds from Bowl for Ronnie will go to the Dio Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org), which is now in its 12^th year of raising awareness and much-needed funding for cancer research.  

The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund was formed in memory of the legendary rock singer Ronnie James Dio, who lost his life to gastric cancer in 2010. A privately funded 501(c)(3) charity organization dedicated to cancer prevention, research and education, the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has already raised over $2 million in its history. Monies raised have been committed to the cancer research work of the T. J. Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS and Leukemia Research, the gastric cancer research unit of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where Dio was treated for gastric cancer during the last six months of his life, and other cancer research projects.
