Support the Chess Jawa

The Chess Jawa plays chess at Dragon Con every year to raise money for the convention’s selected charity (which changes every year). 100 % of all donations go directly to the charity, and Dragon Con matches all contributions!  In 2026, the Dragon Con charity was Hope Atlanta, which helps thousands of Atlanta families move from homelessness to stability and self-sufficiency. Dragon Con will select the 2027 charity early next year, and donations received in the meantime will go to that charity.
