Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello! Our chess club here at our Elementary is growing and we need your help. Our chess club is currently using chess boards that have been passed down from previous years. Due to the quality of the chess boards, they are falling apart. That is why we are asking for your help. We are asking for quality chess boards, for our new group of students, that will be participating this upcoming season.

Every contribution, big or small, is a move towards empowering the next generation of chess enthusiasts.

Your generous donation will directly impact these young minds, fostering cognitive skills, strategic thinking, and a lifelong love for the game. Let's make their first move unforgettable. Thank you in advance for being a part of this transformative journey.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
