"I really enjoyed the entire experience, because I was able to play with my friends, learn how to do something new, and connect with other people." By supporting our At-Risk-Youth initiative for #GivingTuesday, you will be making it possible for more students to discover chess and more scholastic clubs to travel to national tournaments and make new friendships and be a part of something special. https://lnkd.in/eG7jsUN
