Warsaw Community Schools (WCS) announced the successful conclusion of the 23rd annual Warsaw Chess Tournament, which took place at the Washington STEM Academy.
The Warsaw Education Foundation (WEF) played a crucial role in the success of this year's Checkmate Hunger tournament through a lifetime grant which ensures the purchase of awards and offers free entry to all participants, according to a news release from WCS. Their assistance ensures that all proceeds from concessions and T-shirt sales are directly contributed to Haitian aid efforts, marking the 12th consecutive year of partnership with Action Christian Team Services (ACTS).
WCS thanks the WEF, ACTs and all participants and supporters who contributed to making the 23rd annual Warsaw Chess Tournament a success.
