LEONARD A. HELMAN PRIZE
In 1999, Rabbi Helman, an American lawyer and prominent bridge enthusiast and philanthropist, donated US$5,000 to establish the Leonard A. Helman Prize which is awarded to the two youth players earning the most masterpoints in New Zealand Association events in a calendar year. No individual can win the Award more than once.
The awards are presented at the National Bridge Congress in Hamilton .
To be considered for this award players must be on the NZ Bridge Youth Database, so they can be identified as eligible.
NZ Bridge is very grateful to Rabbi Helman for this gift to its youth players and will use this as a basis to build and promote youth bridge in New Zealand.
