Each day of the tournament Partnership Desk volunteers will be there one hour before each session to assist in matching up partners.
Prior to the start of each day’s game, players may order from a choice of four sandwiches and two salads offered by Don’s Deli, who will deliver the sandwiches to the Bridge Center at the end of the game’s first session. In addition, a Safeway grocery store and a number of food establishments are within a short walking distance (0.2 miles) of the Bridge Center. Coffee, tea, and the usual Palo Alto Bridge tournament snacks will also be available.

Volunteer to help make the Bay Area’s largest sectional a resounding success. We need helpers for as little as an hour or two, in a variety of different roles such as parking, partnership and hospitality, set-up and take-down and general operation each day. We will be needing to identify more help as we near the tournament date. To volunteer, please contact one of the tournament chairs.
Second Harvest is committed to doing whatever it takes to build a hunger-free community. That means distributing nutritious food to nearly every neighborhood in Silicon Valley, leveraging every available food resource, and collaborating with organizations and people who share our belief that hunger is unacceptable. Nutritious food is the foundation for a healthy, productive life.
As our community responds to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley remains committed to our mission knowing that our most vulnerable community members are deeply and disproportionately impacted by public crises such as this.
Please make a cash donation to help. We will not be collecting food.
