Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our fencing program represents a gateway to a world of athleticism and skill that many of our students have yet to explore due to limited resources. With your generous support, we aim to introduce them to this captivating sport and ignite a passion that could potentially shape their futures. The equipment we're requesting, from protective jackets, fencing pants, and sabers to masks and other essentials, is not merely gear; it's a pathway to discovery and growth for our students.

Our primary goal is to democratize access to fencing, providing every student with the opportunity to learn and excel in a sport that may have been previously inaccessible.

Through fencing, we aim to instill values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, which transcend the boundaries of the fencing strip and permeate into all aspects of their lives.

What sets our students apart is their hunger for knowledge and their willingness to embrace new challenges. Many of them have never had the chance to engage in organized sports, let alone fencing, but they approach each practice with enthusiasm and determination. By supporting our project, you're not just providing equipment; you're offering our students a chance to discover their potential, build confidence, and forge lifelong friendships through the exhilarating art of fencing.
