The PBA announced that when the PBA Tour hits Wichita, KS early next month, the opening event of the schedule will be the PBA “Bowling For Wishes” Celebrity Charity Pro-Am on Dec. 4 at Thunderbird Lanes, hosted by PBA major winner and Wichita resident Sean Rash. Scheduled to participate are Koyie Hill, Randy Wells, Ryan Dempster, and Mike Fontenot of the Chicago Cubs, New York Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey, and PGA Tour champion Woody Austin, along with other celebrities and PBA Tour exempt pros. The event will benefit the Kansas chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The rest of the Wichita schedule consists of a “super regional” event, the Pepsi Red White and Blue Open (the finals of which will be taped for a Jan. 10 airdate on ESPN), and the live finals of the PBA World Championship, the season’s first major.
