U of L Chess for Life program receives $8,300 donation
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Chess for Life program has received a nice financial boost.
100 Women Who Care’s Lethbridge chapter has donated $8,300 to the program.
Chess for Life was set up at the University of Lethbridge a few years ago by Dr. Lance Grigg, an associate professor in the Faculty of Education, following a conversation with a local judge.
He had mentioned the possibility of teaching youth how to play chess as an alternative sentence for those involved in the criminal justice system.
