On behalf of Mochy and myself, I want to publicly thank and acknowledge Marc for his contribution of 25 copies of his new book, Backgammon, Basics to Badass, to be given away as prizes to high school and college students who participate in the International Collegiate Backgammon Championships.

Many individuals and companies have generously contributed cash and prizes which will help make this program much more rewarding and exciting for students to participate. We have raised close to $9000 thus far for scholarships and over 100 special prizes including books, watches, backgammon boards, software, apps, and services such as free lessons and training.

If you would like to contribute to the program please do so through gofundme at gofundme.com/ehgb2v38

If you have prizes to offer please contact me or Mochy. The program will get into full swing in the fall of 2016 culminating in a live finals in 2017.
