Three years ago, we launched Chess for Cure with a simple belief: that strategy, community, and compassion can come together to create meaningful impact.
Today, I’m proud to share that we are hosting our 3rd Annual Chess for Cure Gala on April 24th 2026 followed by a Fide Rated Chess Championship on April 25th and 26th 2026♟️✨
What began as an idea has grown into a powerful initiative, bringing together players, families, and supporters to raise awareness and funding for an important cause. Each move on the board represents something greater, a step toward change.
As we prepare for this year’s gala, we are aiming to expand our impact even further.
I would sincerely appreciate your support, whether through attending, sponsoring a page ad, making a donation, or sharing this message within your network.
