Hi all,

One year at Camp Fatima, we customized a CWW chessboard for one of our campers. Since then, I began to think about a fundraiser combining two parts of me that I love. Camp Fatima and Chess! I'm proud to present this Charity Chess Set raffle with help and support from Gregor and the NOJ family along with the Colorado Wood Worker Brad Borkowski. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and generosity! For more information and to purchase tickets you can click https://cfnj-fundraiser.square.site/ --Thanks, Chris

@nojchess…. Your support for this charity is incredibly appreciated. I’ve purchased pieces from you, 1950s, and they are absolutely incredible. Your support here only makes me love those pieces more! Thanks for being such an important part or our experiences as chess collectors!!!!

This is an amazing raffle that should generate a lot of interest. I was initially a little shocked at the price per entry but I think I'll try to dig deep and get one.

I also wanted to mention/thank Brad CWW. I have a few of his boards and they are all very well made for anyone who might be curious. Brad, thanks so much for your generosity and for being a great part of the chess collecting space!

I really must give a lot of credit to NOJ and Brad CWW. I know they are very busy with a backlog of work to take this on. I felt very humble when they both agreed. @upsidedownfork - Thank you! I am interested in feed back around the price of each ticket. I have considered a lower price per entry. Would other people be so kind to chime in for their opinions as this is the first Chess Set Raffle I'm doing? --Thanks

Thank you @krames and @stumOnner! I appreciate all the feedback and promotions I get from the forums here and I am glad to give back to a great charity!

Thank you everyone who contacted me on the side. I appreciate your feedback. After reading my messages and to help drive the fundraiser I am reducing the ticket sale. For 1x ticket at $25.00 and 2x ticket at $40.00. This will be an interesting event (: For the people that have already bought tickets I will increase your entry accordingly. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. --Best Chris

That seems like the price point for what most raffles like this go for. I think for me it will be a no brainer now.

Avatar of Ronballz

I bought my ticket, this is a great idea!

@nojchess, can you send some fresh pictures of the pieces?

@bborkowski, can you post pictures of the board?
