Send Metcalf Chess to Nationals
Donation protected
For 50 years, Metcalf Chess Club has continually proved to be a powerhouse in the chess community in both the State of MN and the nation. Since Brian Ribnick started coaching in 1983, Metcalf has won 18 National titles, and over 25 State Championships.
Every year, kids and parents work together to try and raise $50,000 in order to pay for 30-40 kids to attend the National Junior High Chess Championships. This year, the tournament will be held in Indianapolis, IN. Metcalf Chess Club is asking for donations to offset the cost of this trip so that as many kids as possible can achieve their chess goals. 100% of the funds raised now through April 1, 2016 will be used towards transportation, lodging, meals and tournament fees for the national tournament.
As you can see in the video, these kids work hard because they love the game of chess so much. Countless studies have been done that show the amazing benefits chess has on a child's development. Metcalf Chess Club knows how chess can exercise and grow the brain, improve mental health and memory, as well as make people smarter and more creative individuals. Every little bit helps and goes a long way. These kids don't just ask for donations, they work hard to earn them, just like they work hard every day at school and chess, in order to achieve great things. Thank you in advance for all your support by donating what you can or simply watching and sharing this video. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Students of the 2015-2016 Metcalf Chess Club
