Following Creative Classic Agency’s successful second annual StrikeSplitMix: Charity Bowl during Stellar Awards weekend, the company is preparing to host additional fundraiser mixer events in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey and the Philadelphia markets over the next fifteen months.
On February 18th at The Orleans Bowling Center in Las Vegas, NV, nine teams represented charities including: Miss A Meal, VH1 Save the Music Foundation, American Diabetes Association, Dress for Success (Southern Nevada), Goodie Two Shoes and The ASCAP Foundation. The winning team for a second year in a row was Team Gospel Gives whose roster included Monica Bacon, Jojo Pada, Henry Sapp, VaShawn Mitchell and now, ten-time Stellar Award-winner Anthony Brown.
