The Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis is excited to be a part of Give STL Day, a 24-hour giving event that brings together nearly 800 nonprofit organizations from around the Saint Louis area!
The giving period is Tuesday May 5 only, and we hope to have your support in pushing our scholastic initiative to over 5,000 Saint Louis area students, while setting a national example of the social and educational values of chess.
Above all else, our belief in the educational benefits from one of the world's oldest game of strategy remains the driving force behind the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. As research continues to reveal a direct link between learning chess and higher academic achievement, the CCSCSL prides itself on remaining at the forefront of chess education and providing that impact to each one of its members.
Our scholastic program is now in over 100 Saint Louis area schools, and we provide over 250 Grandmaster lectures a year at our 6,000-square-foot, Central West End community center -- many of which remain freely available on YouTube for our growing audience of international students of the game. We continue to impact our community through the game of chess, including the addition of more public Chess Pocket Parks around the city of Saint Louis. Your contributions will help fuel our mission directly, beginning with our next project to add a Chess Pocket Park in the Steinberg Center of our city's beautiful Forest Park.
Please lend your support on Tuesday, May 5, by logging on to the Give STL Day CCSCSL Page and donating as little as $10 to help us introduce more students to this beautiful game.
The Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that is committed to making chess an important part of our community.
