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

The king's in danger! Who better than to help protect the king than my chess club students? Our chess club is a group of both beginning chess players as well as those with more tournament experience. We need these chess sets and chess clocks for our weekly chess club meetings and games. With this project, each pair of amazing chess club members will have standard-sized pieces, a durable vinyl chess board, and a carrying case. With these sets, it will make it easier to get in a game anywhere- even at recess! The chess timer clocks will add that speedy edge to a riveting game where time is of the essence to win!

These chess sets and chess timer clocks will give my chess club the tools they need to get in the game and win!

Help my inner-city students get these chess sets and make our chess club games epic! Donate to our project today! Thank you for supporting these amazing students.
