Brooklyn Bowl hosts All-Star Bowling for charity
If you’re into cheering on sports celebrities as they do other stuff they’re not known for, you have some choice options to rubber neck this weekend.
On Sunday evening at Brooklyn Bowl, the nonprofit Strikes for Kids puts on the Second Annual Las Vegas All-Star Bowling Classic to raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada.
That bowling event promises athlete participation from Davante Adams, Josh Harper, Isaiah Burse, Allen Robinson, Perrish Cox, Mike Pouncey, and Maurkice Pouncey.
You can watch for $50, bowl for $100, or reserve a lane for six bowlers with $550 (Lasvegasallstarclassic.com).
Meanwhile, Sunday caps a day of golf at Southern Highlands Golf Club with a red carpet and party in the evening at Lavo lounge in the Venetian.
The Lavo event is for the 2nd annual Coach Woodson Las Vegas Invitational red carpet and party benefiting a charity called Nations of Coaches, which is described on Coachwoodsoninvitational.com as “dedicated to bringing coaches together through guidance and knowledge. With shared experiences, challenges and stories of success, better coaches and players are created.”
Hmmm, what?
Anyway, Woodson’s event slates appearances by musicians Brian McKnight, Dave Stewart, Jeffrey Osbourne and Tony Cornelius, comics Cedric The Entertainer and Erik Griffin, actors Lamon Archey and Alan Thicke, “Apprentice’s” Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, Woodson, ESPN’s Jay Harris, golfer/designer Seema Sadekar, plus Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Jason Kidd, Anthony Anderson, Roger Clemens, Jonathan Odgen, Mike Phillips, Andre Reed, Larry Johnson, John Starks, Reggie Theus, Armond Hill, Byron Scott, Winky Wright, and Mike Hill.
Ticket prices? Ohhh, $250 to $12,000. I bought my car for $13,500, you know what I’m saying?
