… Fundraiser dinner planned for month end

MONETARY support this week by Team Mohamed will help Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) to host its grand fund-raising dinner later this month.
The dinner is to offset expenses of Guyana’s participation at the 44th edition of the FIDE Chess Olympiad, which is scheduled for Chennai, India from July 28 to August 10.

According to the federation, businessman and philanthropist Azruddin Mohamed extended best wishes to the team and encouraged them to perform to the best of their abilities.
President of the GCF, Frankie Farley, expressed gratitude to Mohamed for the timely donation while stating that it will go a long way.

The Olympiad is the biggest chess event in the world. It was initially scheduled to be held in Russia but was relocated in the aftermath of the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Guyana is currently ranked at 143 out of 201 countries within the International Federation.
The GCF is looking to carry a contingent of 12 persons to the event.

The proceeds from the dinner on June 25, will go towards the airfare and ground expenses of the team members.

The three-course meal and mingle (to 80s and 90s music) is billed for June 25 at Tower Suites Inc. Poolside on Main Street.
Tickets cost $10 000 per person.
