HALL OF FAME

 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 created a merged hall of fame, inclusive of the men’s hall of fame members and those inducted after 2022.
