iGaming content provider BGaming has donated €10,000 ($10,886) to The Youth Educational Centre of the Orion Fathers in Warsaw, Poland, supporting the development of a chess school for young people. The donation, announced Friday, came ahead of International Chess Day on July 20.
The contribution from BGaming will enable the centre to offer more classes, purchase additional equipment for chess athletes, and organize tournaments and events to promote the game among a new demographic.
This initiative is part of BGaming’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and supporting underprivileged communities. Earlier this year, BGaming also made a donation to the A7MA Galeria Institute in Brazil to foster children’s creative talents through mural-making and art tours. Additionally, the company has collaborated with artists at key industry events as part of its ‘When Art Meets Gaming’ projects.
“At BGaming, we have seen how games can bring together friends and players to build communities. It is our pleasure to continue investing in the future of young people around the world and by supporting the launch of this centre, we are sure chess will unite and inspire many of them for years to come,” said Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO of BGaming.
Andriei Molchanov, a representative of The Youth Educational Centre of the Orion Fathers, said: “By investing in the development of children today, we will have a kinder and fairer society tomorrow. The mission of helping children in difficult situations is a very necessary and important thing, and today BGaming is planting seeds of goodness so that wonderful fruits will spring up tomorrow. This is a win-win cooperation.”
