Our Mission
& Vision

Through the game of chess, our mission is to raise funds towards the needs of the Lafayette community.

Our vision is to host monthly chess tournaments that will raise $3,000 towards the needs in the Lafayette community in areas such as, but not limited to, food insecurity, education, and health by the end of 2026.


About Us!

We run a USCF-rated community-driven series of tournaments. Each event donates all earnings to a selected charity, announced monthly!



Impact

Our October tournament raised $268 towards Versiti Indiana to fund tissue and organ donation!


Our November tournament raised $220 towards Food Finders Food Bank, Inc. to fight hunger in the Greater Lafayette area!
