This free and friendly series of meet-ups, spearheaded by Sunrise Mayor Michael J. Ryan in cooperation with Mayors in Broward County and beyond, draws attention to the benefits of chess in both the academic environment and in our community.
Each Mayors’ Chess Challenge event provides an opportunity for players of all ages, novices and experts alike, to join in the fun with elected officials and community leaders. Instructors from the Sunrise Center for Excellence in Chess are on hand to help those new to the game.
Players receive a Mayors’ Chess Challenge Passport so they can log their participation over the course of the school year. Those with perfect attendance will receive a prize at the end of the season.
The complete 2021-2022 Mayors’ Chess Challenge series schedule is listed below. Be sure to call before attending, as dates and locations are subject to change.
