Peek's Pound is a group of children Browns linebacker Antwan Peek has taken under his wing since joining the Browns a little more than a year ago.

The group is made up of kids from the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cleveland.Tuesday, they were at the Lakewood Elks Lodge in Westlake for the Pound's latest event.

Almost 100 people, parents and kids, joined Peek for pizza, snacks and a round of bowling.

The Elks donated their lodge for the night, while Peek covered the costs of the food.

Peek brought his own bowling shoes and ball to try to impress his friends.

Thanks to a special ramp, even children confined to a wheelchair were able to get in on the action on the lanes.

During the past year, Peek has developed a personal relationship with several of the kids from the UCP, who he has seen on a regular basis.

Peek donates tickets to Browns games for children from the UCP and also has attended and sponsored a number of events with the group, including a holiday party during the winter. He also donated Peek's Pound blankets to each child involved with the UCP.
