I'm hosting a chess tournament to raise money for the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund. The tournament is at Corbett School on February 18, 2012

In 2006, my sister, Nina Morrison, died of Fanconi anemia, a life-threatening genetic disease. The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund (FARF) works to find the cure to FA. All proceeds from the chess tournament and concession sales will go to FARF, so please donate and help save the lives of the hundreds of other kids around the world with FA. For more information about Fanconi anemia and FARF visit fanconi.org

To register for the tournament:

  1. make a donation with the donate button on the right
  2. go to the registration page and complete the registration form. Make sure that you use the same name for the donation as the parent name on the registration form.
  3. get the latest information and unexpected changes on the tournament website.

If you can't attend the chess tournament but would like to donate anyway, simply make a donation without registering for the tournament.
