Toronto Rapid Chess Championship

We have started this gofundme project because we are only a few players away from breakeven! If you'd like to help us out by sponsoring a small portion of money, we can IMPROVE and ADD more prizes! Thanks in advance for helping out, Pub Chess Toronto would be nothing without you chess players!
