Sister Website Donates to Troops in Iraq

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I know . . . it’s not jigsaw puzzle related news, but I thought this was certainly worth-while. This article was recently posted on the Wholesale Chess News blog (sister company to Wholesale Puzzles).

What a great picture . . . what better way to relieve stress and exercise your thinking capacities then sitting down with a chess set and playing a good game of chess? We’d like to thank all those who participated in efforts this past Memorial Day weekend to bring the joy of chess to our troops overseas.

A few months ago we noticed that many military personnel visited our website to purchase chess sets and equipment for use in both combat and non-combat zones. We wanted to increase the number of chess sets available to our troops, and decided to involve our regular customers and members in the process. As a result, 5% of all member and customer purchases at Wholesale Chess during the Memorial Day weekend were used to send a donation of 110 chess sets to the troops serving in Iraq!

We hope the troops enjoy the chess sets and want to thank our members once again for participating in the donation - - Wouldn’t it be great if all of life’s battles could be fought over a chess board?
