As you know, the CFC hired me to approach the corporate sector for sponsorship for our Olympiad teams. We've had to take a few steps first. Thanks to Vincent Chow, the CFC's web master, we've spruced up the CFC's web site. But the next step is the most important of all. We have to show the corporate sector that we support our own. Our target is $5,000 from 100 donors.
So far, we only have around $2,500 from 18 donors (with another $1,400 pledged). How to get the rest of the way? Well, it's your turn. This is how your donation - even a small one - will count for maximum value.
A SPECIAL CHALLENGE TO YOU
Next week, from Monday, June 23 through Sunday, June 29, we're having a special challenge. Every donation (up to a total of $2,000) will be matched!! This is a very generous offer from a member of our Canadian Chess community. We are asking you to respond by donating $25 to support Canada at the 38th Chess Olympiad.
Visit the CFC's web site at www.chess.ca/olympiad.htm. You can:
- See a thermometer showing our fundraising target ($20,000) and amount raised so far ($2,265+);
- Find a link to an alphabetical list of our donors (name only, not the amount donated);
- Read a little about the history of Canada at the Olympiads;
- See photos and profiles of our Olympiad team members.
- Read Lawrence Day's Blog!
While you are on-line, you can even make your donation:

The CFC also takes donations by cheque, phone and e-mail. So, put your cheque in the mail today, or call/e-mail the CFC next Monday-Friday, or donate on-line from June 23-29.
Please, let's get behind our Olympiad Teams - CANADA's teams. Talk time is over - your donation is needed now.
Thanks,
David
