On Monday July 11 2022, The ACBL Educational Foundation held an online Charity game to raise funds to support junior bridge. The game was an overwhelming success, raising over $50K to help juniors with travel expenses and support other endeavors to promote the game among young people.
The effort came together quickly, taking only six week from conception to execution, and demonstrated the extraordinary support in the bridge community for promoting our game. Over 100 professionals volunteered their services which many patrons generously purchased while other patrons donated for the cause. The game was held on RealBridge where players could see and hear each other and consisted of 20 boards of matchpoints in two sections.

52 pairs from each club, North Shore in Australia, and Auckland Bridge Club, New Zealand took part. The ditch is the body of water between the two nations. From Wikipedia:
The Tasman Sea is informally referred to in both Australian and New Zealand English as the Ditch; for example, crossing the Ditch means travelling to Australia from New Zealand, or vice versa. The diminutive term "the Ditch" used for the Tasman Sea is comparable to referring to the North Atlantic Ocean as "the Pond".
