Rock Pink®, a charitable organization whose mission is to raise breast health awareness and support local breast cancer charities, has set a new record for the largest gross amount of money raised at a Rock Pink event in the organization's history.
Over 600 bowlers and bowling enthusiasts attended the Orlando, FL event to further support Rock Pink's mission. The funds raised from the annual Bowl-a-Rama totaled over $60,000.
As part of the fundraising initiatives, a local celebrity was paired with each bowling team. "With a diverse cast of celebrities ranging from local radio and television to news anchors and athletes, we feel the Central Florida community got slapped in the face with our grass roots initiative to bring humanity back to the lives of breast cancer survivors," said Mark Hollamon, Rock Pink President.
Members of the professional wrestling world in attendance included Marc Mero and Dale "The Demon" Torborg. "It was a great opportunity to see people from the industry that I haven't seen in years," remarked Torborg.
Basketball players including Tree Rollins -- who also served on the Celebrity Acquisition Committee -- as well as TV news personalities such as Martha Sugalski also joined in the festivities. Clear Channel radio personalities Johnny Magic 106.7 FM WXXL, Mel Taylor and Crash 101.1 FM WJRR and from Real Radio 104.1 FM WTKS: SBK, Angel, Jim Philips and the Phile crew, and the hosts of the event, the Monsters in the Morning, led by Russ Rollins, rounded out a large celebrity showing.
