Chess for Charity began out of a desire to bring the community together through the game of chess while also supporting local treasures such as museums, gardens, and small businesses. The Cummer Museum is excited to partner with this Jacksonville organization to host a rated chess tournament in the Cummer Gardens. Registration is limited to 30 players and includes entry into the tournament, as well as admission into the Museum and Gardens. All players will also receive a complimentary Family Pass to return to the Museum for another visit. Make sure to register today to reserve your spot!
