Bobby Portis is a champion on the basketball court and the unofficial mayor of Milwaukee – but can he also rule over the bowling lanes? Drink Wisconsinbly will answer that question when it rolls out its inaugural "Bowling with the Champ" Charity Classic at Landmark Lanes on Friday, Oct. 14.
Inspired by the popular local retro TV series, the bowling battle will pit Portis against Al Larson, Drink Wisconsinbly's accountant and 235-average bowler, for the title of Milwaukee's Bowling Champion – all in front of a cheering crowd of locals at Landmark Lanes, the iconic East Side bowling alley and bar fresh off its 95th birthday. Doors open at 5 p.m., with balls flying toward pins starting at 6 p.m. Drink Wisconsinbly Shirt
Best of all, no matter who claims victory, everyone will feel like a winner Friday night as a portion of the proceeds from the first-ever bowling bout will be donated to the Bobby Portis Foundation, the basketball player's charity committed to creating programs and initiatives that aid single mothers throughout the Arkansas community, where Portis was born, raised and went to school. The money will be donated on behalf of Wisconsinbly Cares, a new initiative focused on giving back to its namesake state.
