We’re back again with another installment of our beloved Bucketlist segment where we pose the age-old question and find out which acts make the personal bucket lists of your favorite bands and artists! Quite often, we all get to check off on our own bucket lists and most of the time that list is ever-growing, but nonetheless, Metal Nexus will be here to keep asking that question and do our best to bring artists and fans just a little closer! This week, we’re looking at Liliac – a hard-rocking family quintet all under the age of 20! Continue reading
The third annual BOWL FOR RONNIE Bowling Party, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org), will take place on Friday, October 6, 2017 at Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, California. The event will include a celebrity bowling tournament and a raffle drawing. 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.
The BOWL FOR RONNIE bowling tournament is the perfect time to be able to raise money and further awareness of the cancer charity that can provide much-needed help and support to the people who are suffering from this disease, as well as their loved ones. These donations don’t even need to be much. It could even be what you raise from selling something similar to these custom pins, or from other types of activities. Every little bit of money can help fund cancer research and can spread even more awareness to people in the local community. It should be an action-packed evening for all of the participants.
BOWL FOR RONNIE participants can anticipate an evening of fun, food, and, drink. Can you name a better event that combines both fun and fundraising in one? It wouldn’t even be surprising to hear if some of the younger participants decided to ask, “where to get a fake ID” so they can enjoy some of the beverages on offer too. But it’s not just about that. You can’t forget that you will be bowling with rockers and celebrities competing for trophies in the name of raising funds and awareness for the Dio Cancer Fund, which is much more important. Among the raffle prizes will be a specially-designed bowling ball and pin featuring the BOWL FOR RONNIE artwork (which is pictured above).
The event 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 brought together entertainers and artists such as Grammy award winning duo Tenacious D featuring Jack Black and Kyle Gass, Tom Morello (Prophets Of Rage & Rage Against The Machine), John 5, members of Mastodon, Steven Adler of Guns and Roses, Lita Ford, members of the Grammy nominated group Stone Sour and many more. Last year John 5 and Tom Morello who as members of Eddie Trunk‘s bowling team, took top honors for the highest celebrity bowling team score. Do you want to know how they do so well?
