The Orange Education Foundation Supports the Orange Bridge Club.

The Orange Bridge Club was established in 2002 and has been competing in the Youth North American Bridge Championship (YNABC) since 2012. Over the years, the club has traveled nationwide and internationally, including competitions in Chicago, Washington, DC, Providence, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Toronto, Canada.

At every YNABC competition, Orange Bridge Club students have earned first-place finishes, demonstrating exceptional skill, discipline, and teamwork.

In July 2026, the Orange Bridge Club will travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to compete once again in the Youth North American Bridge Championship, continuing a proud tradition of excellence.

In 2024, the team travelled to Toronto, Canada. The OEF is so proud of Rian Souffrant, 16, a junior at STEM Innovation Academy of the Oranges and an alum of Oakwood Avenue Community School. In Toronto, Rian won the Bridge Base Online Sportsmanship Award. This prestigious award is given to one student who demonstrates leadership skills, good sportsmanship, and a love for the game. The award includes a trophy and a $1,000 scholarship. Congratulations to Rian!
