Members of the ACBL Charity Committee endeavor to promote ACBL Charity Program participation in the units and sanctioned club games of their respective districts. The committee also has duties and responsibilities assigned to it by the trustees of the ACBL Charity Foundation or the ACBL Board of Directors.

The following is a list of appointments to the ACBL Charity Committee each year since the first year in 1960. Since this is primarily an honorary appointment, I select members from our district whose contributions have placed them head and shoulders above the crowd. These are people who have selflessly committed their time and energies on behalf of bridge.
