What We Need & What You Get
THE MONETARY GOAL FOR THE CHESS PROJECT:
- This project seeks to raise $100,000. 10% of which will be contributed to the JL CHESTNUT, JR. FOUNDATION. Remaining funds are for film production.
- Contributors [like you] will receive T-Shirts, Books & Videos.
- Success is the expected outcome, however, in that rare instance the project falls short of its proposed goal, a portion of the proceeds will still be contributed to the JL CHESTNUT, JR. FOUNDATION and the production team will (re-) focus on making a production inclusive of the amount raised.
The Impact
"WE ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE THERE", a favorite quote by CHESS:
- While the majority of Americans [like you] know how historically significant the town of Selma, Alabama is, very few know in categorical detail how this little town in the boondocks of Alabama came to be such a prominent worldwide fixture of freedom. CHESS lives and legislates "THE DREAM" from this small town for 50-years. Becoming one the greatest lawmakers the American Legal system has ever seen.
- CHESS is an American patriot. A man whose life is spent giving. A courageous leader. A pioneer whose life is to be celebrated. A man whose life inspires. CHESS is not a perfect man. His love of gambling, guns & whiskey is one of his biggest challenges; all are challenges he faces, beats and abandons "cold turkey", living more than 40-years clean, sober & armed only by his passion to make this life better for us all. CHESS is a family man. A man of faith and a friend to all. A musician & radio station owner. A patriarch & hero. This is CHESS!
