We are so grateful to all of our donors who continue to support our deserving Chicago youth. CCF challenges our youth to show up to the chess board week-after-week and year-after year, so they can develop life changing habits as they grow into leaders. In the same way, we are asking you, our supporters, this year to join our monthly moves program - providing a recurring, monthly donation to CCF - during our Giving Tuesday campaign.

Giving Tuesday, the global movement reimagining a new world based on generosity and humanity, is a time for us all to put our support behind the causes that we believe make substantial change. CCF understands the power of this time and encourages you to join our great family of support this Giving Tuesday.

At $15 per month, the cost of a movie ticket, you will provide one chess team in a low-income Chicago community with chess equipment for up to 30 players through our Rook, Rattle & Roll program.
