The Youth Inc Celebration Gala honoring Chess in the Schools on November 13th was a huge success thanks to you, our donors! The night was filled with chess, dancing, and celebrating CIS along with 9 other NYC nonprofits!

To everyone who joined us at the Grand Hyatt and to those who supported us from afar, THANK YOU!
Below are a few photos from Celebration. To see more, check out our Facebook!
