The Dennis Barmore Foundation was established to honor the memory of Dennis Barmore and his contributions to one of the richest African-American pastimes, Bid Whist. For over 20 years Dennis Barmore worked tirelessly to preserve the tradition of playing Bid Whist. Not only was he successful in helping to keep the game alive, he was able to elevate the game to a national scale uniting bid whist players across the country. The Dennis Barmore Foundation will carry on his vision by continuing to preserve and promote the game and furthering his commitment to education by providing educational scholarships in the Spring and Fall semesters.
