Jewish Care’s Bridge Extravaganza Committee has now raised over £2 million since the event first began 25 years ago. Over 160 guests enjoyed a day of bridge at The Landmark Hotel in Marylebone for the committee’s first in-person event since 2019. The event raised over £90,000 for Jewish Care.
The overall winners of the Bridge Extravaganza Duplicate Bridge Sarah & Arnold Morris Trophy were Gill and Lynton Stock. The overall winners of the Friendly Duplicate Susan & Stephen James Trophy were Marilyn Feldman and Evelyn Levene.
Speaking after the event, Joint Chairs of the Committee, Patsy Bloom and Susie James, said:
“25 years and £2 million later, this event has been the most successful Bridge Extravaganza. In the midst of the cost of living crisis these funds will help Jewish Care to support older members of the community.”
Jewish Care’s Director of Fundraising and Community Engagement, Adam Overlander-Kaye, added:
“We are so grateful to Patsy Bloom, Susie James and all of the Bridge Extravaganza Committee. They have worked tirelessly for over 25 years to raise vital funds for Jewish Care’s vital services. Today, with the challenges the cost of living crisis brings, older people in the community are more reliant than ever on the warmth and care we provide.”
