The Longest Day will be here June 21st, but ACBL registration opens today!

The ACBL is the inaugural partner of The Longest Day, a sunrise-to-sunset team event to raise funds that fuel the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. This event challenges participants to push their limits and complete approximately 16 hours of a consecutive activity. The theme for The Longest Day is “do something you love” – like play bridge! To mark this momentous partnership, the ACBL and the Alzheimer’s Association will be at the America’s Center March 18th to answer questions and register participants. When you register to participate in The Longest Day at thelongestday.alz.org you will receive a registration kit with: • Flyers to advertise your event to the community • Publicity tools to maximize your exposure • Items to decorate your club/event on The Longest Day • Giveaways for your participating players/team members There is a whole host of online tools to help you recruit team members and fundraise virtually.

Here are some ideas for your fundraising team’s activity on The Longest Day: • Play marathon bridge games. The ACBL is relaxing the rules so all sanctioned clubs can hold as many special games as desired on June 21, 2013. *Special game fees and upgraded masterpoints apply. All sanction fees collected will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. • Teach free beginner bridge lessons all day. It’s a great way to find new players and meet social/former college bridge players in your community, all while supporting the Alzheimer’s Association. • Stage a bridge exhibition where members of your team play bridge in different public locations over the course of the day. You’ll get a lot of attention and even more donations for your team’s cause. Approximately 5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s, but by 2050, nearly 16 million people could be affected. There is no cure, but some research indicates that playing mentally challenging games such as bridge may help keep your brain healthy. So do something you love on The Longest Day that might actually slow the onset of Alzheimer’s – play bridge! If you register your team today you will receive a special gift – The Longest Day holders!
