CHESS SETS 4 SCHOOLS!

A Community Project

The RENAISSANCE KNIGHTS FOUNDATION is seeking donations for the ‘Chess Sets 4 Schools’ community project. The goal of the project is to put 2 chess sets in every elementary school classroom in the Cook and Lake Counties. The foundation hopes to raise the money through donations from local businesses and individuals.

The chess sets are tournament quality plastic chess pieces, a 20” x 20” vinyl chess board and nylon bags to keep the chess pieces in. Included with the sets will be a package of materials to aid the teachers to use chess in the classroom and information on additional resources available on the internet.

The foundation runs the
ILLINOIS SCHOLASTIC CHESS website which has a section of teacher’s resources including handouts that can be used in the classroom. We appreciate your consideration for supporting us; donations of any amount would be gratefully received. We know these projects will help us have a greater impact on the youth in the communities we serve.

Please do not hesitate to contact our
Operations Director, Sheila Heiser, at 847-526-9025 with any questions.
The foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. Your gift is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
