My Project

My students have approached me about the possibility of starting a chess club at school. I had success starting a club at my previous school and I am excited about the opportunity to bring this experience to these students.

This project seeks to fund ten complete boards and pieces as well as a storage cart so we can get our club up and running.

With your help, as many as twenty students can be playing matches at one time. We hope to be able to fund additional boards later. Thank you so much for considering supporting our project and supporting our new club. We appreciate you generosity.
