The American Contract Bridge League's "The Longest Day" event is taking place from June 14–21, 2026. During this week, ACBL clubs across North America host special bridge games and tournaments to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association (or the Alzheimer Society in Canada). 

On Saturday June 20th we will be holding our annual Alzheimer’s Fundraising social.  Please join us for lunch and a friendly game of bridge while raising money for this important cause. All funds raised by BCON stays in our area, and goes directly to the Alzheimer Society of Niagara Region.

Within our club, the “Friendly Fred” Andreychuk & Josh Levine Trophies are awarded annually at this event to the pairs who bid and make the most 3NT contracts in the Open and 499’er games.  Fred, our co-founder and first President, had a reputation for bidding 3NT, perhaps a little more often than he should.  Josh became a Life Master by bidding and making a difficult 3NT contract at a Regional Tournament.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
