DragonCon Press Release

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CHESS JAWA TO APPEAR AT DRAGON CON – 5^TH STRAIGHT YEAR

SEPTEMBER 1-5, 2017, ATLANTA, GA USA, PLANET EARTH

The Chess Jawa is looking forward to his 5^th straight appearance at Dragon Con this fall.  As in past years, the Jawa will play chess to raise money for the Dragon Con charity.  The 2017 charity is Special Olympics Georgia.

“I couldn’t miss Dragon Con,” said the Jawa, “I love seeing my Terran friends, and there are some great chess players on Earth too.”  He added, “I’m also really excited about this year’s charity. Special Olympics Georgia is a fabulous organization.”  

“Last year I raised just over $1,000,” said the Jawa. “I want to raise $1,500 this year for Special Olympics.  I hope everyone stops by for a game, or even just to donate.” He added, “Utinni!”

Individuals wishing to “Play Chess with a Jawa” should look for the Chess Jawa in the Marriott Atrium Level, near the Starbucks.  Everyone who plays gets an “I played Chess with a Jawa” sticker.  Anyone who defeats the Chess Jawa receives a Tatooine Planetary Chess Federation Patch. Kids who play chess get patches too!

“I did lose one game last year,” admitted the Jawa, “but I crushed that Ewok.”
