Good evening!

Our very own community director and member, Gilbert B**g Perez has been invited to compete at the 25th IPCA world individual chess championship for the disabled in June in Torrevieja, Spain.

Doc B**g, as he is fondly called, is seeking the generosity of our community to help fund his participation in this prestigious event which would include travel to the host country, registration fees, accommodation, and local travel.

Please send an email to [email protected] if you're interested in supporting.

On behalf of the WFC board of directors and community, we wish Gilbert all the best as he represents Brandon in the world stage!
