Recent Donations

 Leslie Bale and Phil Jarrette both donated a portion of their cash prize to us at our January 2006 Swiss.

Here are a list of those businesses, organizations and individuals that sponsor us.  We greatly appreciate their generosity.  Anyone who sees this site is encouraged to visit our business sponsors and show appreciation for their support of our group.  We acknowledge those businesses or individuals who contribute to out efforts with a Certificate of Appreciation suitable for display, and with a mention of their support here in our web site and in our newsletters.

We encourage all of our visitors to consider making a contribution to our organization, for which we are immensely grateful. We are an officially incorporated nonprofit entity in the state of Illinois, but we are not a 501(C) charity. Therefore we cannot offer you a tax deduction for your contribution. But we can offer you and others in your community the opportunity to play chess in a comfortable and supportive environment, competitively and for pleasure. Your contributions help to maintain our operations now and in the future.

WARNING! The PayPal and Mastercard donation feature is still under test. We request that the public does not use this feature as long as this warning banner is present. We should have the working eventually. Thank you for your patience. We are now able to accept donations thru PayPal. Just click the Donate button to contribute whatever you're comfortable with. No amount is too small, and every donation is appreciated.
