More Fun with Jerry Helms

Want to partner with Jerry?

While Jerry is in town, he is willing to be raffled off to be someone’s partner in the noon game at the KC Bridge Studio on May 8, 2026.

You can buy individual raffle tickets for $10 or a bundle of 6 tickets for $50.

Jerry will meet with you at 11:30 ahead of the game and visit with you for a few minutes after the game.

Want even more fun?

Join Jerry for dinner at Jack Stack BBQ at 4 after the game on Friday. Bring a person of your choice with you and we’ll give you the cost of one raffle ticket back to give you a start on paying for your own drinks and dinner. We’ll have two winners from this raffle so it will be a table for 6, the 4 winners, Jerry, and Kathy Rolfe.

Winners from both of these raffles wil be notified by 9 p.m. on Thursday May 7.

Look for Mo-Kan at the Trolley Run!

Sunday April 27, 2025

Mo-Kan Bridge Academy will have a booth at the Trolley Run after party on April 27, 2025! If you’re a bridge player come on by and sit in on a few deals to show others how easy this game can be! Let’s show everyone that this is a game for everyone. The Trolley Run supports the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI). Join the run to raise funds and then stop by and play! Or if you can’t do the run, just stop by and play bridge for a bit!

We were there and had fun introducing the game to a couple of youngsters!
