Bidding has begun on eBay for a chance to bowl on the celebrity bowling team captained by broadcast personality Eddie Trunk at the BOWL FOR RONNIE Celebrity Bowling Party on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at PINZ Bowling Center in Studio City, California. Trunk, who is heard on SiriusXM’s 103 Faction Talk channel, will once again host the event benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org).

The auction for a place on Trunk’s bowling team has always been met with feverish bidding as musicians such as Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Jack Black (Tenacious D), Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach); Adam Jones (Tool) and Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) have been past team members.  This year’s team members will be announced shortly.

The eBay auction for a place on Eddie Trunk’s 2023 team will end on Thursday, November 2 at 4:53PM Pacific time:

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 Ronnie was treated for gastric cancer during the last six months of his life, and other cancer research projects. The Dio Cancer Fund has committed funds to support the research of Dr. David Wong and his team at the UCLA School of Dentistry in developing a simple, non-invasive saliva test for the early detection of cancer, which is in keeping with the Fund’s mission of cancer prevention, research and education.

The acclaimed documentary, “DIO: Dreamers Never Die,” is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray+4K, which debuted at #1 on both the US and UK Music DVD charts during its first week of release.
