Event Name: 2nd Annual Kingpin Classic
When: Wednesday, November 11, 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Where: On Par Entertainment, Beavercreek, OH
Description: Join us for the 2nd Annual Kingpin Classic Duckpin Bowling Fundraiser to support friend and colleague, Reid Sherwood. We’re asking our friends, colleagues, and industry family to come together and help support someone who has spent a career supporting others. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease some of the financial burden and remind Reid that he has an entire community standing behind him.
Reid is a great friend, a true industry veteran, and, most importantly, a genuinely great human being. He has given a lot to our industry and to the people around him. Now it’s our turn to give a little back.
Please consider donating, sponsoring, and/or attending this event and showing Reid just how many people are in his corner.
