50Anniversary     Golden Legacy Award

 

The 50 year Golden Legacy Award was rolled out in 2023.  It started out as a discussion between President Eric Lucas and Hall of Fame Chair Jon Kelley as they were aware of a bowler that was over 90 years of age and still bowling.  Not only that, this bowler had been bowling in our association for a long time.  Since the bowler did not have the bowling achievements to make it into the Hall of Fame, the idea of another form of recogntion arose.

The Golden Legacy Award is given to those bowlers who meet the following criteria:

     -  Currently an active bowler in an sanctioned adult league

     -  Has bowled 50 or more seasons in a Kokomo sanctioned adult league

     -  Can be verified in some manner (e.g. yearbooks or other records)

Award winners will be recognized at the Hall of Fame and Recognition dinner.

If you think you or someone you know may qualify, please contact our Association Manager or Historian Jon Kelley.
