| HBC Donations to End ALZ! |
 Since 2013, the ACBL and bridge clubs across North America (including the Harrisburg Bridge Club) have partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to raise funds for research and care. To date, bridge players have raised more than $12 million.
In 2026, the Alzheimer's Association expanded its annual The Longest Day fundraiser into Do What You Love to End ALZ™. The updated name reflects a broader vision: do what you love to honor who you love.
Since we all love bridge, the Harrisburg Bridge Club donated all entry fees paid during the week of June 15-20 to the Alzheimer’s Association, so every time you played that week, you were contributing to the cause. The amount Harrisburg Bridge Club donated to the Alzheimer's Association from entry fees and individual donations was over $3,500! Thanks to all for their donations to support the work of the Alzheimer's Association.
