ARLINGTON, Texas - (January 26, 2026) - The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) announced the recipients of the 2026 Bowling Industry Service Awards during their mid-winter meeting at Bowling Summit in San Antonio last week.
Over the past year, BPAA has taken a proactive, member-first approach to a critical issue facing bowling centers — affordable insurance access and good risk management. We didn’t just gather information. We listened. Through direct conversations with members and industry experts, a comprehensive online survey evaluating broker performance, and in-depth research into the insurance carriers serving the bowling industry and how they operate, we built a clearer picture of the marketplace.
The result? Actionable insights and real-world solutions delivered when members needed them most. As we continue strengthening our support network, we’re proud to endorse two highly respected brokers who consistently deliver results. These professionals provide:
• Access to a broad range of competitive carriers• Transparent, honest risk assessments• Strong advocacy on behalf of bowling centers• Responsive, high-level service and support
