Peyton Manning hosted the 6th annual PeyBack Bowl on Monday, August 18 at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis. The event raised over $380,000 for the PeyBack Foundation to benefit children at risk. The PeyBack Bowl partners local and national celebrities with corporate sponsors for an evening of bowling featuring great prizes for the top teams and individual bowlers and a sports memorabilia auction with numerous one-of-a-kind items.
Celebrities in attendance included Tony Dungy (Indianapolis Colts Head Coach), Jim O’Brien (Indiana Pacers Head Coach), Scott Dixon (IRL Driver), Sam Hornish, Jr., (NASCAR Driver), as well as several Pacers players and Colts players including Marvin Harrison, Bob Sanders, and Dallas Clark.
Also in attendance, to accept the annual PeyBack Award from Peyton was Gale Sayers, NFL Hall of Famer and former Chicago Bears Running Back. The PeyBack Award is presented each year by the PeyBack Foundation to someone currently or formerly involved in professional football who exhibits character, integrity, honor, and who has given back to the game and society.
The event included a dinner buffet provided by Ruth’s Chris Steak House and beverages courtesy of Budweiser and Zink Distributing. Prizes were courtesy of Sony and Reis-Nichols. Sport Graphics printing was the official printer of the PeyBack Bowl.
The winning 2008 PeyBack Bowl team with a combined 2 game total of 2152 was Markey’s Rental and Staging. Each member of the winning team took home a 46” Sony BRAVIA LCD Flat Panel HDTV and a Colts helmet autographed by Peyton Manning. Reggie Wayne, bowling for the Reebok team, was the highest celebrity bowler with a 2-game score of 355. Hermy Richardson with Markey’s Rental and Staging was the highest sponsor bowler with a 2-game score of 476. Both top individual bowlers also won 46” Sony BRAVIA LCD televisions.
