Meyer Bowl: Bowling with the Buckeyes to support the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer

This past Sunday, AMF Sawmill Lanes in Dublin was a sea of Scarlet and Gray as supporters for the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer and former Buckeye players came out to participate in the third annual Meyer Bowl organized by Shelley and Urban Meyer.

Proceeds from this event and the Buckeye Cruise go directly to the Urban & Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research. Participants who donated money to this important cause could form teams, sponsor lanes and bowl with the former players. The Basement Doctor was excited to lace up their bowling shoes and formed a strong team with Ron Greenbaum, The Basement Doctor; Ed Meyer, Senior Project Manager; Rob Giffin, Senior Foreman; and Mike Stiers, Brand Development Specialist.

Because we sponsored a lane, The Basement Doctor had the pleasure of bowling with a celebrity bowler, former Buckeye player Dimitrious Stanley. We had a great time talking football with Dimitrious, and we even chatted about his future with the Columbus City Council. 


Other former players in attendance included Jake Ballard, Bobby Carpenter, Craig Krenzel, Anthony Schlegel, John Simon, William White, and Justin Zwick. The bowling talent was impressive all around. Even Shelley Meyer hit the lanes. But it was Craig Krenzel who came out on top with the win over the other Buckeye celebrities.

This was not The Basement Doctor's first time to lend their support to the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer. Back in 2012, we donated a completely finished basement to the highest bidder at an auction raising funds for the cause. The winner was former Buckeye player Bobby Carpenter.

A pie in the face for Cancer! The American Pie Party hosts National Pie Day fundraiser

On Friday, January 23, The American Pie Party hosted a “National Pie Day” event at The Shamrock Club to raise money for cancer. This organization has made it its mission to fight the disease and raise both funds and awareness through humor.

Ron Greenbaum, The Basement Doctor, was on hand at this fun event, to both throw and receive a pie to his face. Ron wasn’t the only member of The Basement Doctor team there to support this cause. His pie came courtesy of Tom Johnston, President and General Manager of The Basement Doctor. Tom’s first attempt didn’t quite land on Greenbaum’s face, but he really got him on the second try. Greenbaum retaliated by nominating Tom to take a pie from his daughter Karen, a cancer survivor, and accounting manager Jack Witt, who recently lost a loved one to cancer.

The theme for the night was "Tag" and "Pie it Forward." The event was hosted by American Pie Party founder Tony Sobony, and included several members of the community including former Ohio State Buckeye Jimmie Bell and State Representative Michael Stinziano. Bell, now a motivational speaker, accepted two pies from Greenbaum. His mother Saundra Bell recently won her battle with cancer, making his involvement in the evening especially meaningful. Stinziano took his pie from a young volunteer.
