GoHappyCup.com is sponsored by
American Go Assocation,
American Go
Foundation,
Santa Clara Youth Go Club and
Sunnyvale Go Club. Our
mission is to promote the Go game to children. Every May, we host a
"Happy Cup Youth Go Tournament" for young Go players. To encourage
the children to learn and play, every attendee will get a trophy and
cool prizes, regardless of their rankings. The families also enjoy a
refreshing ice cream party at the end of the event.
