Fundraisers like this seem like such a great idea I always wonder why there are not more of them.
Best regards,

The result was 14 wins and 2 draws (c/o Alexis Elinon of PARA and Ronnie Dellota of MERALCO).
In the opening ceremony, 6 specially made Paete chess sets and 1 standard plastic set were turned-over to the PARA Chess Team. It was from the proceeds of the previous fund-raising simul with GM Jayson. GM Mark with Spawn2 presided in the ceremony.
The proceeds of the GM Mark simul were given to the 5 PARA players as advance Christmas gift. The next event is on Dec 12, a team tournament featuring MERALCO, BW, PARA and Binan Chess Club.
