ChessHouse is giving away $25,765.56 in chess merchandise to raise money for Chess4Life's chess education scholarship fund this Thanksgiving weekend.
Call the boss crazy - he's shaking things up a bit here, and some customers are going to score big alongside making their holiday gift purchases at ChessHouse.
What better time to have some fun, than when the economy is making things tougher, and we need to tighten (er... lighten) things up.
There will be some amazing deals for people. Items are randomly gift wrapped into bundles and sold for a starting donation of $1.
There is a limit of one bundle per customer, and the sale starts Thanksgiving morning. See http://www.chesshouse.com/chess4life to read more and get a gift bundle while they last.
Chess4Life is very pleased with the assistance Chess House is providing through their fund raising efforts - 100% of the funds raised are being added to our scholarship fund, which provides partial or full scholarships to students in the Northwest. We are pleased to be able to say that thanks to individuals and companies like Chess House, we have never turned away a student from any of our after school chess classes and tournaments.
Here at Chess4Life our goal is "Teaching Life Skills Through Chess", a mission that includes guiding children into learning Problem-Solving Skills, Sportsmanship, and Perseverance (the concept that losing is NOT failure but part of the learning process).
Thank-you again to our good friends and partners at www.chesshouse.com in helping make a positive impact in children's lives through chess!"

I would gladly participate, but the shipping I would pay is over $37. That does not make sense to me.
