Charles Tillman hosts Celebrity Pro BOWLer Tournament for charity
Kings Bowl, an expansive bowling, dining and cocktail destination with locations in both Rosemont and Lincoln Park, will partner with former NFL Cornerback Charles Tillman to host the fifth Charles Tillman Celebrity Pro BOWLER Tournament Thursday, June 1 at 6 p.m.
Tillman will recruit his friends, teammates and colleagues to visit Kings Bowl in Rosemont for an evening of great bowling, delicious food and festivities supporting the Charles Tillman Cornerstone Foundation.
In addition to Tillman, participating bowlers for the 2017 event include Anthony Adams, Jared Allen, Kyle Fuller and Jason McKie. Additional celebrity bowlers will be announced at a later date.
First held in 2012 at Kings' Rosemont location, the Charles Tillman Celebrity Pro BOWLER Tournament has attracted hundreds and raised more than $480,000 in support of the Charles Tillman Cornerstone Foundation, which provides opportunities and resources to underprivileged children and their families.
One of the foundation's newest programs is the "Tiana Fund," which assists economically at-risk individuals or families impacted by the costs of treatment for a chronically or critically ill child. The program helps improve the quality of life for its recipients, strengthening their sense of stability and security. In 2016, the program provided micro grants totaling more than $200,000 to more than 180 families in need.
"The ProBOWLer Tournament has become a special tradition for the Cornerstone Foundation and Kings has been a great partner since the beginning," said Tillman. "In its fifth year, this event helps ensure that the foundation can continue to make a positive impact on our community by supporting some very special children and their families."
Lane sponsorships for the Charles Tillman Pro BOWLER Tournament are available starting at $1,500. General admission tickets are also available for $30 and include entry to the event and samplings of Kings' renowned made-from-scratch menu.
The Charles Tillman Celebrity Pro BOWLER Tournament is for ages 21 and over. For information or to sponsor a lane or purchase a ticket, visit charlestillman.org.
