Once a student learns the game of Bridge, they can use those skills for community-building service projects. The 53rd Card (The LEAGUE Wild Card) is a unique card that students can use to create “bridges” in their community. With the 53rd Card, students can use this as an opportunity to participate in a Wild Card event in The LEAGUE’s Event calendar. The LEAGUE Wild Card events are any kind of service events that are helpful to your community. Through the LEAGUE, students are able to earn points and be recognized for making positive differences in their community. Students can also earn LEAGUE points when they fundraise for their Bridge program.
We have designed a School Bridge LEAGUE kit contains all the necessary materials to begin this exciting journey.
