Dear Chess Supporters,
I am writing you today with great news! Thanks to you, this year Chess for Success was able to expand to 75 schools and is changing the lives of over 3,100 children. Your donations allow us to help children who are living in poverty develop the skills that they need to be successful and rise above their circumstances. By teaching children critical thinking, determination, strategy and patience we are giving them the tools they need to tackle any obstacle. Chess teaches these skills, chess gives children living in poverty the power to dream big. Don’t just take my word for it; listen to what one of our coaches says:
“Knowing how to play a “smart” game boosts their confidence. Many get a chance to use logic, planning, etc., and become more complex thinkers. I love when they work out their own strategies and find success.” –CFS CoachThank you for recognizing the importance of education and the power of chess. You are helping us achieve our mission and we could not do it without you.
This holiday season we ask that you help us give the gift of chess to a child in need. Donate today and change a life forever.
A $10 donation buys a chess set for a child
A $25 donation provides a month of chess instruction
A $50 donation provides 3 chess books to the school library
