How Did It All started? Alexia (Kinder) and Ian (3rd Grade) Granthon heard about this idea from a school in VA and they told me: "we should do this at Fallsmead as well! We have been running the school club for so many years, we know what to do, and it could help a lot of people” I then decided to help them out with logistics and arrangements and so Ian and Alexia are working together on their first chess charity tournament. They contacted Mr. Turkevich, our school coach, and asked if he could help them, and he was thrilled to be part of such wonderful event. I worked on the web page, but Ian and Alexia helped with planning, choosing the charity, they were heavily involved in every details and decisions about this tournament.
Thank you for registering and been part of such a wonderful event!!!
