These are the people who encourage new bowlers, support youth programs, promote the sport, and help others succeed.

🏆 CELEBRATING 52 YEARS OF RECOGNITION

In 1974, the Bloomington Women's Bowling Association established the Bloomington USBC WBA Honor Roll.

For more than five decades, this prestigious recognition has honored women whose achievements, leadership, and service helped strengthen bowling throughout our community.

The women recognized on the WBA Honor Roll helped build the foundation that continues to support our sport today.

As we seek nominations for the Hall of Fame, we also celebrate the remarkable women who paved the way.

Who are some of the women whose impact on bowling is still felt today?

❤️ HALL OF FAME CATEGORY SPOTLIGHT:
MERITORIOUS SERVICE

Behind every successful league, tournament, and association are volunteers who dedicate countless hours to the sport.

League officers.
Tournament directors.
Association board members.
Youth leaders.
Volunteers.

These individuals often work behind the scenes and rarely seek recognition.

Who always steps up when help is needed?
