Our Latest Fund Raisers
involve the use of fully-automated on-line chess tournaments
and, like the most appealing charity drives, the prizes are
amazing and desireable.
If you want to blow us away with your generosity, enter the
tournament, win, and then donate your prize to
Second Harvest Food Bank (see below).
Second Harvest of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties
is a private non-profit organization that collects and
distributes more than 31 million pounds of food each
year to low income children, adults and seniors. The
Food Bank currently serves an average of 165,000
individuals each month; the majority are families
with dependent children and senior citizens.
ChessForDollars.com
made a quiet spalsh with its introduction of the world's
first on-line chess tournament engine capable of handling
international tournaments by allowing the players to
negotiate their own start times. This allows players
in widely-separated timezones to play at a time that is
convenient for both players.
Recently, they have successfully scaled it to handle
50,000 players in a single tournament.
They don't mess around.
