We can create an opportunity for military veterans to participate in a friendly and heated team competition with elite athletes

Please join me in supporting Military Veterans through the Fencers Club "Salute Our Soldiers" team fencing and fundraising challenge. My team's goal is to raise $500 by November 4th, with all of the proceeds going directly to promote Veterans' physical health and emotional well-being through the FC Veterans On Guard Military Fencing Program. Since 2013, this program has positively impacted the lives of more than 250 Veterans. You can learn more about this program and other great FC programs on their website.

On Sunday, November 4th, my team will fence for gold and glory in the "Salute Our Soldiers" Tournament--all are welcome to attend!

I am proud to be a part of the diverse FC community that has promoted excellence through fencing for more than 130 years. Join me in making a difference in Veterans' lives today.
