American Contract Bridge League's Longest Day Tournament

Join the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) for a marathon of bridge games to support the Alzheimer’s Association! The ACBL is the inaugural national partner of The Longest Day — a sunrise-to-sunset event on June 21, 2013 honoring the strength, passion and endurance of those facing Alzheimer’s disease. Participants in The Longest Day will complete approximately 16 hours of a consecutive activity —such as playing bridge — to raise awareness and funds for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. The San Francisco Bridge Club is holding special charity bridge games on The Longest Day.
