According to news on Tuesday, "Bidding is now under way 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 13, 2025 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, and this year will be no different as Eddie Trunk has confirmed his 2025 team early. His team this year comprises Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler; Brent Woods (Gene Simmons Band, Chevy Metal); Shavarsh "Shavo" Odadjian of System of a Down; and first-time Bowling Party participant Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme). To give the winner sufficient time to make travel arrangements (which are not included), the eBay auction for a place on Eddie Trunk’s 2025 team will end on Monday, October 20 at approximately 7PM Pacific time."
