Today we’d like to introduce you to Ray Ratliff.
Hi Ray, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Chess for Charity Jax is a family organization dedicated to giving back to our community. Inspired by our children’s love for the beautiful game of chess, Chess for Charity Jax serves the community through the generosity of our members. We collect non-perishable food items during our free classes and free-rated chess tournaments and donate that food to local food banks. Our chess instructors and tournament directors are a group of volunteers that donate their time and knowledge to help further chess in Northeast Florida. Please come and experience what we offer and if you can, bring a non-perishable food item because like in chess, EVERY PIECE COUNTS!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
We are welcoming the challenges and treating any obstacle as an opportunity
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I retired as a Navy Pilot and continue to teach Navy pilots as a civilian. Most importantly, my wife Monica and I are homeschooling parents that work hard to facilitate the passions of our children Ryan and Myra.
