Alzheimer's Association 2025


The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) is proud to be a Global Partner of the Alzheimer’s Association, and to participate annually in this fundraiser, held on the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year.  Activities take place throughout the month and all proceeds go to the Association.

Our ACBL Unit 540 (totaling over 260 members) will add our support for the Alzheimer Association with face-to-face games at our clubs, an online-auction of a game-partnership with some of our leading masterpoint players, and Fiesta Friday on June 20th.  We hope you will participate by generously donating to the Association.  This is a cause dear to our hearts, and every contribution will be greatly appreciated.

Donations can be made directly through the ACBL Unit 540 Team site.  Contributions can also be made at any game during the month with a check made out to ACBL Unit 540 (with "Alzheimer's" in the memo) and given to Gary Yant, Bud Zeuschner or the Game Director.  (Cash is also accepted.)

Give what you can and be a part of the solution as we fight for a cure, and offer support to patients and their caregivers.
 



Another way to contribute is ... an AUCTION!   And the AUCTION will be online, starting with the kick-off on Monday, June 2nd,  at the SLO DBC game, and running throughout the month.  "What's being AUCTIONed", you ask?  Answer: a chance to partner with one of our Unit 540's top masterpoint holders!.  Click on the  Alzheimer's Fundraiser Online Auction to make your bid!
