Give Local York’s Big Give period starts Tomorrow night (Thursday, April 30) at 7 p.m.
When the Big Give begins, York Chess Club will be at In Between Pages bookstore, 113 S. Duke St., York, for our weekly chess night from 6 to 8 p.m. Come join us for some friendly games of chess and learn about our Give Local York fundraising campaign for 2026!
We have a big goal this year, 2,000 donors giving $10 each for a total of $20,000. We’ll use $5,000 of that for club operations and to fund this year’s Brian Costella Memorial tournament. The other $15,000 we plan to use for youth chess mini-grants for York County students.
You can learn more about the mini-grants on our Give Local York fundraiser page.
This is a year-long campaign, but you can maximize the impact of your donation by giving during Give Local York’s Big Give Period, which goes from 7 p.m. Thursday, April 30, thorough 6:59 Friday, May 1. Giving during that period will qualify us for bonus funds.
Also, as part of Give Local York’s Big Give Party, we’ll be also be hosting Chess on the Square Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. We’ll be on the northeast corner of York’s Continental Square with tables and chess sets ready to share the game and our story with the public, so join us downtown! Let’s make it a chess party!
