Hi, I am Evie Laskaris and I am raising funds to help support chess programs for girls through Checkmateforkids!
Imagine a brilliant 8-year-old in a crowded classroom, her mind racing ahead of the lesson, solving patterns no one else sees. She goes unnoticed. She's never held a chess piece. Not because she lacks ability, but because no one ever told her she could.
In too many communities, girls with brilliant minds are overlooked.
They're told chess is for boys, for prodigies, for someone else. The board is there, but no one gave them a chance to make the move.
Vision: We're changing that. This campaign funds starter kits, mentorship and tournament access for girls who've never been given the chance to win. It's not just about pawns and queens; it's about empowering girls to turn into resilient, compassionate, knowledgeable women that change the world!
Consider investing in the future of girls through chess.
100% of your donations goes to:
- Providing chess sets and training to girls in communities of need and homeless shelters.
- Host chess workshops and camps.
- Cover travel and entry fees for girls to compete and shine.
