Event Details

Join us for the 17th annual Don't Believe the Hype Celebrity Bowl-a-thon! The VIP reception is at 6:00p.m. bowlers must be checked in by 7:30p.m. and bowling begins at 8:00p.m.

Over the years we have had numerous celebrities including comedians Dick Gregory, Shuckey Duckey, Nanette Lee and Phyllis Yvonne Stickney; singers Eric Benet and Miles Jaye; Public Enemy members Chuck D and Malik Farrakhan; former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, U.S. Congressman Martin Frost; actress Kiki Shepard; national journalists Rene Syler, Brian Custer and Roland Martin, professional athletes and a host of others.It’s a fun event and proceeds go to programs benefiting area youth; especially the low-to-moderate income. In 2011, beneficiaries will be the Dallas-Fort Worth Association of Black Journalists scholarship fund and Urban Journalism Workshop--which has received over $25,000 previously, Sen. Royce West’s Dr. Emmett J. Conrad Internship Program and the HBCU scholarship fund.
Additionally proceeds from the event have helped take students to conventions in Seattle, Phoenix, Orlando, D.C., Atlanta, Indianapolis, Houston, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Oklahoma. Jefferies Street Learning Center, the Black Academy of Arts and Letters, the Emmett Till Foundation and the African American Museum are just a few of the beneficiaries over the years.
