Nationwide (BlackNews.com) — A powerful Black youth organization that has already helped more than 20,000 kids is pleading to the public in efforts to raise funding for a national tour. The organization, Be Someone, Inc, was founded by master motivator Orrin C. Hudson in the year 2000. His approach was very unique: Use the game of chess to teach inner city kids how to “make the right moves” in life.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Hudson and his 501(c)3 non-profit organization have already won rave reviews and national attention from CNN, NBC, Good Morning America, USA Today, and even People Magazine. He even once received a grant from filmmaker Tyler Perry.

But Hudson wants to help more than just a few thousands kids. He wants to take his show on the road and do a national tour to help 1 million kids. For that reason, he is appealing to the public to make small donations of just $5 or more to help him reach the much needed funding of $50,000.

HOW WILL YOUR DONATION BE USED?

With the funding, Hudson will launch the 2013 African American Chess and Youth Leadership National Tour and travel to as many urban areas as possible to help young inner city kids develop the practical skills and techniques to overcome obstacles in life, illustrated through the best and most intellectual visual aid of all time: the chessboard.

He will target young people age 12-18, and will train them to become better decision makers. Via the game of chess, Hudson will teach them 20 life lessons that they can take from the chess board to make themselves success at everything they do. He instills in them, the focus, discipline and patience required by the game.
