PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Cube Club recently donated a portion of the funds raised through its 2026 speedcubing competition to the Gateway Community Resource Center, recognizing the organization’s continued support of local youth and community programs.
Gateway hosted the club’s competition on June 28, providing space for approximately 100 competitors, family members, volunteers, and spectators. Participants competed in the 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, 2×2 cube, and Pyraminx categories during the four-hour event.
Following the competition, the Parsippany Cube Club presented a donation to Gateway as a way of giving back to the organization that helped make the event possible. The club did not disclose the amount of the contribution.
“Gateway has provided our competitors, volunteers, and families with a welcoming place to gather,” the Parsippany Cube Club said. “We wanted to show our appreciation while also supporting the important work Gateway continues to do in the community.”
The Gateway Community Resource Center works to connect individuals and families with programs, services, and opportunities intended to strengthen the surrounding community. Its facility has also served as a gathering place for educational and youth-centered activities.
The donation reflects the Parsippany Cube Club’s broader mission of using cubing to support both education and community service. Since its founding, PCC has donated more than $30,000 to charitable organizations and community causes while expanding access to cubing programs for students.
In addition to organizing competitions, the club provides lessons, workshops, summer programs, and volunteer opportunities for students interested in learning how to solve Rubik’s Cubes and other puzzles.
The club’s June competition was its largest to date. Competitors of varying ages and experience levels participated, with experienced speedcubers competing alongside students attending their first organized event. Volunteers managed competition rounds, assisted participants, and helped create an encouraging environment throughout the day.
Support from local businesses and organizations also helped make the event possible. Sponsors included Parsippany’s Best Pizza, SpeedCubeShop, Unity Bank, and Highlander Games.
By donating a portion of the competition proceeds to Gateway, the Parsippany Cube Club hopes to continue building partnerships with organizations that provide meaningful resources and opportunities for local residents.
The club plans to continue hosting competitions, workshops, and educational programs for young cubers throughout Parsippany and neighboring communities.
