Hello there, my name is Kainen Mora and I am currently a Junior at Grand Island Senior High School.
I am a life rank scout with Troop 114 in Grand Island. I have been involved with scouts since 2nd grade. I have held many leadership positions and am currently the Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. I am currently working toward earning my Eagle Scout rank - the highest possible rank for scouts.
My Eagle Scout project will be raising money to order and place 2 outdoor chess tables at Grand Island Senior High school. I learned how to play chess from my late father, I earned the chess merit badge in scouts, and since I joined TeamMates as a 7th grader at Walnut, my mentor and I spend our weekly meetings playing chess.
Just as lifting weights builds muscle, regular chess play—which engages both the logical left and creative right hemispheres—strengthens your mental muscles. It builds "six-pack abs" for your mind by training it in foresight, patience, and complex problem-solving.
With your monetary donation I can provide permanent outdoor chess tables to have available for the students, faculty, staff, and community members to enjoy for years to come.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal of $4000. Each concrete table is around $1600 dollars and will need to be set on concrete slabs. Any money above the cost of the tables and concrete would be used to purchase additional chess pieces to have available.

Thank you for helping me reach my goal of $4000 and investing in the Grand Island community. With your donation, we can provide a lasting space for students and faculty to gather, play, and build sharp minds.
