Last night, Rickey Smiley’s, “Rickey Smiley Foundation,” hosted a celebrity bowling tournament at Slingshot Entertainment in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta’s top VIP’s battled each other in a fun game of bowling led by Rickey Smiley and ED Lover.
The Rickey Smiley Foundation is a Nonprofit Organization, was born out of my desire to impact the lives of children and teens through programming that inspires, impacts and motivates young people to live life to their fullest potential, as well as celebrate the lives of our seniors who are the fabric of the community. While I personally wear many hats in my professional career, The Rickey Smiley Foundation is not one of those hats, but instead a mantel that I carry each day, to become a father to the fatherless, hope to the hopeless, and a voice to the voiceless.
Special guests in attendance included: Karlie Redd (VH1 “Love & Hip Hop), Porsha Williams (“DISH NATION”), Da Brat (“DISH NATION”), Gary With the T (“DISH NATION”), Meelah Williams (“702”), Bonecrusher (rapper), Demetria McKinney (“Tyler Perry’s House of Payne”), Cocoa Brown (OWN “For Better or Worse”), Diallo Thompson (“Barbershop 3”), Brandi Williams (“Blaque”), Tameka Foster (VH1 “Atlanta Exes”), Mishon (singer/ABC “Lincoln Heights”), Sammie Bush (singer), Melissa Knowles (“HLN”), Lisa Wu Hartwell (TV One “Hollywood Exes”), Monie Love (Reach Media “ED Lover Show”), Micah Stampley (singer), Y’Aanna Crawley (BET “Sunday Best”), Gwen Boyd Moss (WE tv “Selling It: in the ATL”), Gary Lavard (Youtube “About Him”) and more!
Guests were encouraged to donate to the foundation while in attendance. The bowling tournament was taped for TV One’s hit doc-series “Rickey Smiley For Real.” Rickey Smiley’s docu-series “Rickey Smiley For Real,” airs Tuesday nights at 8pm ET on TV One. Watch the season two sizzle reel here:
