Summer Programs

Knowledge That Ignites Change

When we noticed the impacts of the War in Ukraine in our own fencing communities, we felt compelled to take action. While Russian and Belarusian fencers were banned by the FIE and conflict spread throughout the world, it was really the displaced Ukrainian children and families—like the relatives of our coaches—that suffered the most. In a world dominated by political, religious, and sectional division, our team is dedicated to doing everything we can to create equitable learning opportunities for everyone. Over $4,200 in proceeds from summer programs in the past two years have been donated to help charities such as Nova Ukraine provide relief and recovery.
