ACBL EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION 2020 Annual Report WELCOME

Dear Friends, In a year marked by COVID-19, racial injustice, and political upheaval, we are most grateful for your generous support to the ACBL Educational Foundation; we surpassed 2019 in all measurable categories. As country/western singer, Dolly Parton quipped back in March, “…if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain,” and so we did. We were saddened by the loss of F2F bridge-playing opportunities, but that created an into the world of online bridge technology. Tricky Bridge received a grant to help hook young people on bridge through video-game-style teaching. It has since become a phenomenal success! Next up, we partnered with Trickster Cards to address the need for a social bridge website where non- players could play across a virtual bridge table in a more friendly and relaxed environment. Lastly, we collaborated with ACBL and ABTA to fund the research and development needed to launch an online teacher training program. We created our first online fundraiser honoring Peggy Kaplan, a champion for youth bridge, who is battling a life-threatening condition. The funds we raised are dedicated to teaching bridge to young people. We increased our number of donors, number of donations, our investment portfolio, memorial and honorary gifts from people and ACBL clubs, demonstrating our growth from $1.6M in 2019 to over $2M in 2020. In a time and place where so many donors, rightfully, responded to the critical need for health programs, civil rights, political change, and basic human needs, we are pleased to welcome you out of the rain onto “Bridge Street.” With gratitude,

E. Kristen Frederick Joel R. Kramer Executive Director President, of Trustees

TRICKY BRIDGE

Tricky Bridge launched on iOS in October 2020 with a mandate to provide the first fun, free, scalable way for young beginners to learn bridge. Developed from the imagination of Scott Hoffer and his team at Forklift Studios, it was Apple's top-featured new game on the USA App Store at launch, and in the four months since, the app has introduced nearly 25,000 beginners to bridge, the majority between ages 18 and 44.

The game has been featured six times by Apple and continues to grow with that company's support, including at the #1 spot in their list of "Indie Games We Love". Tricky Bridge has taught a total of 440,000 digital bridge lessons.

They've received many messages of encouragement and support from players around the world, most often from bridge players grateful to be able to recommend Tricky Bridge to their friends and family members that never played bridge. Several players have offered to translate the game into their languages. Others are considering how it could be used in classrooms.

The game was ported to Android in February and is expected to launch in May. That will provide access to a much larger audience. Tricky Bridge is also planning an additional 19 lessons to further engage our beginners and to help narrow the gap between learning and competing.

If all continues to go well, Tricky Bridge will further expand the app content, build out its social media presence, and explore strategic partnerships that will help bring even more young beginners to bridge!

SOCIAL BRIDGE ONLINE

Haven’t seen your regular partner in over a year now? Our second technology grant, in collaboration with Trickster Bridge, created “Social Bridge Online – Bridge With Friends” – a website for social bridge players. On this site, you can play bridge with your regular partners in a relaxed and comfortable environment – and it's free! Whether you call it social bridge, , party bridge, or something else, we know that millions of you play bridge regularly. Once you log in, you can handpick your own foursome to play, schedule your own regular game, and activate the camera on your device so you really ARE playing face-to-face with the three other people at your table. Social Bridge Online is currently a hub where you can play bridge. (In fact, 2500 people have already signed up to receive email updates as we build it out.) In 2021, we’ll be hiring a website editor and creating an advisory board to help us further develop the site. Then you’ll be able to find even more content relevant to social bridge playing, supplies, compatible partners, and tips for making your game more enjoyable.

Did you know that: 82% of the ACBL duplicate bridge players we surveyed are also social bridge players? 87% of that same group play social bridge at least occasionally, with 40% of them playing social bridge more than once weekly?

BRIDGE CAMPS

No, virtual summer camps couldn’t Carlinville Youth Bridge replace rope courses, water balloon on Lake Williamson, IL, which was battles, bonfires, or the time spent started with a grant from us in 2009, outdoors with friends, but for kids who has had over 300 “graduates” and due to the popularity of its online wanted to learn or play better bridge, summer bridge camp in 2020, will the virtual bridge camp experience offer it again in June 2021. added structure to long summer days in 2020.

Bridge camps provide the skills for a lifelong “sport,” and have created some competent young champions! Here’s the camaraderie we can’t wait to see once again.

8 “FIRST HANDS”

In January, we engaged Jonathan Friendly, already an ACBLEF volunteer, to come up with an idea for a regular column on our website. A former editor of ’s column in the “New York Times,” he suggested a series entitled “First Hands:” Jonathan Friendly “Bridge players, even the great ones, all have to start James Holzhauer somewhere. When the Educational Foundation asked me to contribute to its website, it occurred to me that I would have a good excuse to talk to my idols and ask them about their earliest days of play and what so fascinated them about the game. So far, these players have been extraordinarily generous with their time and their memories. I hope you find their stories as interesting as I do.” Larry Cohen In 2020, our readers learned about Larry Cohen, James Holzhauer, Mike Lawrence, Jeff Meckstroth and Barbara Seagram. Coming soon are articles about Jerry Helms, Adam Parrish and Ed Zuckerberg. Whenever possible, we Jeff Meckstroth included photos of each of them at the age they learned to play. And, when asked how he came to play bridge, Jonathan replied:

Jerry Helms “About 70 years ago, my older brother and I were desperate for opponents for Canasta, so we recruited my mother and one of her friends; in return, we had to learn to play bridge with them. Remembering how I had gotten started led me to wonder how the nation's finest players had gotten hooked. First Hands became the way to find out.” Barbara Seagram For Jonathan’s own “First Hands” story, plus those of others, go to www.acblef.org/page/first-hands-series-35.html.

9 PEGGY KAPLAN

TheTRICKY importance BRIDGE of teaching bridge to young people is a common thread throughout this publication and a major goal of the Educational Peggy at 17 Foundation. Two special people come to mind as friends and family paid tribute to them through contributions supporting Youth and Collegiate Bridge: Peggy Kaplan and Betsy Ross Bare. Together they generated $14,000 In Honor of Peggy Kaplan (Grand Life Master) for programs to support Peggy Kaplan – bridge coach, photographer and mentor to young teaching bridge to those people playing bridge – was a college student player on the Bob from middle school Hamman-Bill Gates-Warren Buffett team, and has been a well-known, through college. well-loved top bridge competitor for years. When Peggy began the most serious fight for her life, longtime friend Cookie Hoberman approached ACBLEF about doing an honorary online fundraiser to benefit youth and collegiate bridge. In the space of five weeks, a flyer emailed to ACBLEF friends raised over $12,000 in funds, now earmarked for grants that will teach young people how to play bridge. (See Special Tribute Gifts, page 15.) After reading “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me” on her Facebook page, we learned that Peggy can touch her nose with her tongue, she was almost run over by a car while sleeping in bed, that Oswald Jacoby played bridge with her once, and that she has been blessed with incredible friends. We agree.

10 BETSY’S BOOKS BETSY ROSS BARE

In Memory of Elizabeth “Betsy” Ross Bare (Bronze Life Master) From classrooms to courtrooms to bridge games, Betsy touched thousands of lives across North Carolina. Already an accomplished public-school teacher in Chapel Hill, NC, she chose to pursue a law degree at Wake Forest Law School. With brainpower and charisma, she broke through traditional barriers to take on leadership roles as federal prosecutor in law enforcement and served as an Associate Attorney General in that state. Her longtime, grand life master bridge partner, Happoldt “Hap” Neuffer, knew that Betsy truly recognized the “depth of the game” and remembers a Swiss Team competition where they were down by 60 IMPS in the first match, only to win the entire event. Although privately fighting multiple chronic diseases and constant pain, Betsy demonstrated unusual resilience over the past decade. What doctors diagnosed as a “mild” case of COVID-19 ultimately caused her death. She devoted her life to the well-being and teaching of children and because of this, her family chose to include the ACBL Educational Foundation as a recipient of memorial gifts to further the game of bridge among young people. (See Special Tribute Gifts, page 15.)
