Dear Friend of the ACBL Educational Foundation,
As we enter this season of reflection and gratitude, all of us at the ACBL Educational Foundation want to reach out with sincere thanks for the support you have shared with us in the past. Your generosity has helped shape our mission and strengthen bridge education for learners of all ages.
Because of supporters like you, the Foundation continues to make meaningful progress. The impact of your past giving lives on in the programs, students, and communities we serve today.
Highlights from This Past Year
Here are a few highlights that reflect what your support helped make possible:
- Bringing Bridge to More Schools
Expanded outreach and teacher training enabled educators to introduce bridge as a tool for critical thinking, communication, and confidence-building to more than 25,000 students. - Supporting Rising Young Players
Scholarships and travel assistance helped students compete, learn, and connect through national and international bridge events. - Investing in Innovation
From game-based learning tools to new community engagement pilots, we continue exploring modern, welcoming ways to introduce bridge to new audiences. - Expanding Access for All Learners
Programs like BridgeWhiz and Learn Bridge in a Day welcomed both young people and adults, helping build a strong and enthusiastic future for the game.
Demand for our programs continues to grow. Teachers are asking for more resources. Families are seeking enrichment opportunities that foster problem-solving and connection. Communities want bridge programming that is inclusive, accessible, and engaging. To meet these needs, we must continue to grow our programs and invest thoughtfully in what comes next.
As you consider your charitable giving, we hope you’ll keep the ACBL Educational Foundation in mind. A tax-deductible year-end gift of any size helps ensure that future generations can discover the joy, challenge, and lifelong community that bridge provides.
This holiday season, we invite you to reconnect with us by giving someone the gift of bridge. With your support, we can continue creating opportunities for students, families, and communities to learn, grow, and thrive through the game we all love.
Wishing you peace, joy, and a very happy holiday season,
Ladawna Parham
Executive Director
ACBL Educational Foundation
