Thank you for your generous donation. Your gift enables us to provide several chess events for kids in the Greater Fremont Area throughout the year. Chessfest cannot take place without your help!  Donations go towards the rental of necessary equipment, awards for our players, and offset costs of registration for our local families who need assistance.
