TURBO TO SPONSOR 2011


U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN
Bowling Proprietors' Association of America
Finalizes An Exclusive Arrangement For
Premier Women's Event
ARLINGTON, Texas, August 24, 2010 - The Bowling Proprietors'
Association of America (BPAA) has inked a deal to have Turbo
Bowling Accessories become a promotional sponsor of the presti-
gious Bowling's 2011 U.S. Women's Open. As part of the agreement,

ing popularity of bowling among women and the heightened con-
sumer demand to watch and attend bowling events."
