Engaging youth is critical for the future of bridge. There is a growing interest in incorporating mind sports, which offer social and academic benefits, into curriculum. And we strongly believe this is the moment to make a push to get bridge into schools.

Atlanta Junior Bridge plans to present our successful Jump Start Youth Bridge program at three major school conferences over the next year to connect with educators and form partnerships to achieve this goal.

We have chosen these three conferences:
• ISTE, International Society for Technology in Education June 2023.
• NAGC, National Association for Gifted Children November 2023,
• NAIS, National Association of Independent Schools February 2024

This is expensive – vendor booths, marketing materials, travel expenses, travel to train school teachers and holding camps for their students, materials for the schools who form clubs to continue… it all costs money.

ACBL, the ACBL Educational Foundation, Shark Bridge and PlayingCards.io have all committed their support and Patty Tucker is donating her time and expertise. But it is not enough. We need additional sponsors and donors to make this happen.

SO PLEASE HELP!
