2020 press release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Chess Jawa will play chess online to raise money for charity during the Virtual DragonCon 2020 celebration over Labor Day weekend. All challengers are welcome!

"I'll miss seeing everyone in person," said the Jawa, "but I play people all over planet Earth using online platforms, so I'm looking forward to playing during Dragon Con, even if it's virtual." Games will be livestreamed on the Dragon Con Discord.

This year, I'm raising money for Make-a-Wish," he added. The 501st Legion established a Make-A-Wish Endowment Fund in 2016, hoping to raise $501,000 by September 2021. "I'm thrilled to help this amazing organization continue supporting kids with life-threatening medical conditions," said the Jawa.

Donations to Make-A-Wish can be made by PayPal to chessjawa@gmail.com. 100% of donations made during Dragon Con weekend will go to the Make-A-Wish endowment. "My clan has even agreed to match up to $1,000 of donations, so we can really have an impact," exclaimed the Jawa!
