NFL/NBA Celebs To Host Bowling Spook-Takular in Royal Oak

Two Detroit players plan to hit the lanes on Halloween to compete for something other than a victory on the court or field -- the opportunity to help youths in need.

Safety Louis Delmas of the Detroit Lions and forward Charlie Villanueva of the Detroit Pistons will host the Bowling Spook-Tacular from 7:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. Monday at Star Lanes inside . 

The Halloween fundraiser features a player bowling tournament, costume contest where the winner will receive a high-valued item and an opportunity for fans to interact with the players, their teammates and other local and and national celebrities.

The event will benefit causes founded by the two players:

• Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas’ foundation, The Louis Delmas Foundation, is committed to decreasing poverty and promoting quality education for children living in underprivileged communities.  

• The Charlie Villanueva Foundation is a nonprofit organization with three areas of focus: supporting programs that help eliminate bullying, assisting families affected by Alopecia Areata and assisting families in the poverty-stricken Dominican Republic.  

“With commitment and diligence, our foundations will benefit youth not only in our hometowns but also in the city of Detroit,” Delmas said.
