PS 139 Chess Team Trip to Nashville
Donation protected
Join us in celebrating 16 years of chess at PS 139 in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn! DONATE $16 or more to help our public school chess team get to the 2019 Elementary Nationals in Nashville, Tennessee!
We need 100 donors to help us meet our minimum goal of $1,600 during March. Larger donations will help us double that goal to $3,200.
As a Title I school, every year is a fundraising challenge met with goodwill and hard work. We raise funds for our chess club through bake sales, movie night fundraisers, and most importantly, through individual donations. Thanks to the generous support from donors, last year's PS 139 team members won:
* 1st place at the May 2018 NYC Mayor's Cup
* 2nd place in the Elementary Intermediate and K5 Intermediate sections at the NY State Championships
* 3rd place in the K-5 Under 1200 and 6th place in the K5 Championship at the 2018
Chess teaches analytical and creative thinking skills. Kids also learn good sportsmanship, teamwork, and helps them build resiliency by overcoming setbacks. These are valuable life skills that will help them beyond the game. Won't you please be a friend and support our amazing team of K-5 public school students?
