Welcome to The Waypoint Foundation!
At The Waypoint Foundation, we believe strongly in giving back to our community. After all, we have been the recipients of the generosity of many individuals and organizations throughout our lives.
The development of The Waypoint Foundation activities have been based around the specific ways we, the trustees, have been beneficiaries of other people's generosity in our lives. Some of these activities include being recipients of academic scholarships, participating in scholastic chess tournaments, international travel as exchange students, and great experiences in youth scouting programs.
Ben McLain of Ephrata took the 2026 championship prize having defeated both James Barber and Ezekiel Klopov in the playoff round. Congratulations to Ben and all of the other participants for their efforts during the tournament. Additionally, Ephrata, Moses Lake, Soap Lake, Lake Roosevelt, and New Life Christian schools qualified to send teams to this year's state high school team championships, and eight individual K-6 participants qualified to participate in this year's elementary championships.
