You are invited to Esperança’s first virtual BBO Charity event. On Saturday, August 22, open and limited games will be hosted by Bridge on Shea, Alliance Bridge Club and Front Range Bridge Club.

About the Cause
Esperança has been sending volunteer surgical missions to disadvantaged communities for the past 50 years, transforming the lives of men, women, and children alike. Teams donate their labor AND travel to places like Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Peru, performing hundreds of surgeries and consultations each week.
