Volunteers are needed to help with web site and facebook and social media. Mochy and I have established the International Collegiate Backgammon Championships. We have already raised close to $7,000 to provide scholarships to children, and we hope to raise $20,000 before we are done...we're just getting started. We already have the cooperation of many countries and federations to participate and we have a long-term plan with the goal of eventually getting 1,000 or more young people involved in backgammon competition around the globe.

All donations will go to provide scholarships and travel expenses for the finals for the kids, so everything done by ourselves and all involved is on a volunteer basis. We need someone to help us design and maintain a web site and facebook page for this program. We will eventually need more volunteers to help work with kids locally and to help run and monitor on line events which will be held in a dedicated room on Safe Harbor Games and on BackgammonAce.

If you have the skills and desire to help as a volunteer in any of these areas, please contact me or Mochy.

If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, go to:
