BGaming makes significant donation to youth chess centre

Ahead of International Chess Day on 20 July 20, BGaming has gifted the generous contribution to the Youth Educational Centre of the Orion Fathers, in Warsaw, Poland. Thanks to BGaming’s donation, the hub will provide more classes and equipment to talented chess athletes, as well as organising tournaments and events, with the aim of promoting the game to a new demographic.

This latest donation builds on BGaming’s pledge to be a socially responsible company and support underprivileged communities. The games studio also donated to the A7MA Galeria Institute in Brazil earlier this year, to foster children’s creative talents through mural making and art tours and has collaborated with artists at key industry events as part of its When Art Meets Gaming projects.

Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said: “At BGaming, we have seen how games can bring together friends and players to build communities. It is our pleasure to continue investing in the future of young people around the world and, by supporting the launch of this centre, we are sure chess will unite and inspire many of them for years to come.”

Andriei Molchanov, a representative of the Youth Educational Centre of the Orion Fathers, said: “By investing in the development of children today, we will have a kinder and fairer society tomorrow. The mission of helping children in difficult situations is a very necessary and important thing, and today BGaming is planting seeds of goodness so that wonderful fruits will spring up tomorrow. This is a win-win cooperation.”
