Sheriff to take on Bill Cunningham in Racquetball
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones continues to be dedicated to keeping fit after dropping major weight last year.
On Friday, Feb. 26, he will show off his physique for charity in a celebrity challenge racquetball match with 700 WLW Radio Talk Show personality Bill Cunningham.
The match is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Central YMCA on Market Street in downtown Hamilton.
The sheriff and Cunningham will duel it out on the racquetball court in an effort to raise funds for local YMCA programs, and to establish “bragging rights” for the winner.
The event is open to the public. Tickets may be purchased at the Hamilton Central YMCA. Contact the YMCA at 513- 887-0001 for additional ticket purchase information.
Wilson Sports Equipment has agreed to donate up to two pink racquetballs in support of breast cancer awareness, to everyone in attendance.
“This should make for a fun way to end the work week,” said Jones. “More importantly, we can maybe raise a little money to help the local YMCA and show some support for breast cancer awareness. In the end, who knows? Maybe I can run Willie all over the court until he’s all out of breath. Maybe then I can say I’ve literally left him speechless.”
