The Shore Bridge Club raised $2,900 for Alzheimer’s research on June 21 by playing a daylong game of bridge on The Longest Day, an annual fundraising event held nationwide by the American Contract Bridge League and the Alzheimer’s Association.
The team exceeded its goal of raising $1,600 for the cause.
So far, ACBL has calculated approximately $550,000 in total donations from the 197 participating bridge clubs across 44 states and Canada, and it expects that number to grow to more than $600,000 after the final numbers are reported. Since their partnership began in 2013, ACBL and the Alzheimer’s Association have raised more than $1.5 million on The Longest Day.
