The American Bridge Association proudly sponsors two online games every Sunday as part of our commitment to social justice and community support. The proceeds from these "Equal Justice Games" are donated to nonprofit organizations championing equality and justice. For 2023, the ABA Board has designated the funds from these games to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, supporting their vital work in promoting civil rights and education nationwide.
