Mission

Charity Chess Championship, Inc. (CCC) was inspired by 9-year old Daniel Mero as a way to combine his passion for chess with his desire to help others. CCC was formed for the charitable purpose of holding an annual chess tournament and other events and donating all net profits to a charitable organization. Last May, CCC raised $20,072 for Band of Parents, a non-profit organization with the goal of funding new therapies for Neuroblastoma, the most common cancer in children under 2 years of age. On May 20, 2018, our 2nd Annual tournament will be held with 100% of the net proceeds going to Mount Sinai Hospital's Ovarian Cancer Translational Research Lab, a genomic research program dedicated to uncovering the genetic basis for the early detection and prevention of ovarian cancer.
