Starting in September 2026, we are launching our program "Checkmate! Free Chess Lessons & Games" at both the Bloomingdale Library in NYC's upper west side and Englewood Library in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
Every weekend, Saturdays and Sundays, from 12-1PM!
Clocks, boards, and pieces provided!
Play with friends! For all ages and levels.
We will be hosting fundraisers at least once per month to be able to raise money directly for Maria Fareri Children's hospital, but to also fuel some of our initiatives:
Buying more supplies for lessons
Creating a USCF-rated tournament
Partnering with other non-profits in the NYC metro area
Marketing and expanding our programs
