2026 MN Summer Nationals

YOU CAN HELP AS MINNEAPOLIS HOSTS THE 2026 SUMMER NABC

VOLUNTEER

Linda Purrington is our Volunteer Coordinator for the upcoming NABC. These committee chairs are recruiting volunteers for their committees, all of which will benefit from your participation:

Please contact Linda if you'd like to help volunteer before or during the NABC on one (or more) of these committees! She can be reached at auntielinda501-at-gmail-dot-com. You can also contact the Committee Chair in charge of the committee(s) with which you'd like to help out.

Be an ambassador and volunteer your time to let your local club players know why they should play in an NABC. Especially since this one will be right in our own backyard! Here is a look at 10 Reasons Why You Should Play At An NABC. (Click here.)

DONATE

Donations are being accepted to benefit our local NABC fundraising efforts. Money that's raised will go to hospitality, promotion, transportation services, free parking for our many volunteers on their volunteer days, and an end-of-tournament social event for volunteers and major donors. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

You can make a donation by check, payable to:

You can also make a donation to Name-A-Game during the upcoming NABC (or sponsor a whole day if you wish!). The form to Name-A-Game can be found by clicking here. Contact Patti Stuhlman for more information and to confirm that your event is available to be named (pattistuhlman123-at-gmail-dot-com).

PROMOTE

You can find out more about these special games, and how to get your club to run them, by clicking here.

If you're heading to the Fall NABC in San Francisco, you can help promote our NABC next July by helping out at the Promotions Table that we'll have set up at that tournament. Patti Stuhlman will be heading there also - and she'll coordinate our local volunteers to staff the desk.

Thinking ahead? There's an NABC in St Louis MO next spring that is right before the one in Minneapolis. You can bet volunteers will be welcome to staff an information desk on our Summer 2026 NABC next March in St Louis.
