HALL OF FAME/SRA

WESTCHESTER COUNTY USBC

HALL OF FAME & SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARDS

Before the Westchester Men’s and Women’s Bowling Associations merged in August 2006, the Men’s Association from 1975 through 2005, honored bowlers for either bowling achievement or meritorious service.  The Women’s Association did not have such awards.

In August 2022, the Westchester County USBC re-established the Hall of Fame, inclusive of the men’s hall of fame members, and created Special Recognition Awards to recognize those in our bowling community who have displayed superior performance in the sport of American Tenpins and/or who have contributed through various services to the reputation and progress of bowling in the area served by the Westchester County USBC Association.
