Proven.com CEO Pablo Fuentes Donates Apple Computers to HHCF 2016 Summer Program!!

HHCF would like to thank www.proven.com CEO Pablo Fuentes for their donation of eight...yes 8 Mac Books for the upcoming Hip-Hop Chess Federation Summer Camp (go sign up NOW at www.hiphopchess.com- they get packed quick!!) . Now our performing arts and music program will have a totally new edge.

For the last few years we have struggled with having dated computers.  It is one of the main reasons that we have not been able to post regular video updates as we had planned. Last week I posted a photo of one of our dying PC's. He immediately reached out and said he had some Mac Books he could donate.

I went over to their offices in San Francisco and he and Eric Brown were stacking them up and giving me all the stuff I needed to get it going.

Pablo Fuentes is not just the CEO of Proven.com. He is also a student of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a lover of rap music and an amazing guitar player (check out this article on CEO's that train jiu-jitsu) . Over the last six years ago, Pablo has spoken on Panels to help inform and inspire HHCF kids. We want to thank Pablo and his staff for their kindness.

We hope that more technology and innovation companies in The Bay Area can follow Pablo's leadership skills in helping local organizations in the community to match their leadership in the technology space. The HHCF is working hard to meet the demands for our programs across The Bay Area and the country. If you know a person or a company in the technology field that you think would support and sponsor HHCF please have them email contact@hiphopchessfederation.org. We are a 501c3 non-profit.

DONATE to HHCF and Help Kids Get an Edge in Class and in Life!!

American teens fall into drugs, pregnancy and violence after school when they are not involved in activities that cultivate their minds and bodies. Youth violence is the thirs leading cause of death for people between the ages of 15-24. 

We have a new three thousand square foot facility made to help them grow mentally, emotionally and physically to cut this trend and promote nonviolence. We need your help in getting our after school program to kids who currently don't have access to it. 

Reaching our 5k goal will allow 25  kids to take a 12 week session. The grades and emotional well being of the students will be tracked and documented in a short video. You will be able to see the direct impact of your donation.

Our goal is to scholarship local kids in here and train them in chess and life strategies and jiu-jitsu. Your donation will make sure they have the space, the jiu-jitsu gi (what they wear while training) teachers and tutors needed to take them to the next level.Most of the kids I’ve worked with are from tough areas. The bulk are Black and Latino but we work to help everybody we can. In the HHCF we know that the power of and team, is in its diversity. We plan to build our program in the facility first and then spread it across Oakland the the rest of the bay (and the country really). Our previous programs have been in San Francisco, Hayward, and San Jose. These classes will be held in our new Fremont, HQ. We will make a short video of the kids in the program so you see the results for yourself. 

Simply put, American education has been in a state of emergency. Many of our schools and families are broken. Some of our children are being fed right into juvenile hall by corrupt judges. Basically, folks are investing in the failure of our people. I’m asking you to help us counter that by supporting HHCF so we can help kids do better in school and in life on the streets. Once the initial 5k has been raised we will put out a special press release and add a section to our site www.hiphopchess.com that lists your name and your brand on our site, honoring our commitment to working with HHCF to help pave new paths to education and peace. Read what educators and others say about HHCF.
