NASHVILLE — The third annual 'Spare Your Mind' Doubles Bowling Tournament took place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Hermitage Strike and Spare, 3436 Lebanon Pike. The event raised funds and awareness for mental health, with proceeds benefiting Nashville Peacemakers, a nonprofit focused on creating safer neighborhoods.
Registration required a $25 donation, and participants helped foster community connection while working to break the stigma around mental health, especially for men. Barbers offered free haircuts during the tournament. The winning pair each received a custom-made, gold World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Championship belt.
The tournament was organized by Leon Davis, Jr. and Jonathan Davis, a father-and-son team who also produce the 'Black Men Vent Too' (BMVT) podcast. The podcast serves as the voice of their multicultural mental health organization, providing men a platform to speak freely and heal openly about mental health while offering resources and bridging gaps in support.
“Once we came together, we found that we could share each other’s ideas, encourage and uplift each other,” said Leon Davis, Sr. After a pause during the COVID pandemic, Leon Davis, Jr. and Jonathan Davis revived the conversations and launched the podcast.
