Fencing at UTK Travel for CFC's
Donation protected
Hello! We are the Fencing Club at the University of Tennessee. We are a competitive collegiate fencing club based out of UT, Knoxville. Our club has been active since 1967, making it one of the oldest sports clubs on campus. Over the past year, we have experienced a great deal of growth, and our club membership has nearly doubled, bringing our numbers to over 38 active fencers. Additionally, we recently hosted our annual fall tournament Szathmary Open, which drew fencers from across the Southeast to compete with us.
Each year, one of the most anticipated events for our fencers is the USA Collegiate Fencing Championships, a national collegiate team tournament hosted by schools around the country. Competing in this event allows us to expose our fencers to a level of competition that they do not often get to experience, and helps to reinforce our club's standing on the national stage. This year, Club Championships are being held in eastern Massachusets.
However, due to the distance of travel and the arrangments for housing needed, we have found ourselves lacking in necessary funding. We have made efforts to procure additional funding from various sources within the university and the surrounding area, but they have proven to be insufficient given the cost associated with this year's Championships. In light of this, we would like to ask for your help.
In order to send the team, we are attempting to raise $5000 to cover the travel and hotel accommodations. Entry fees have already been paid, so all funds contributed to the cause will go directly towards funding travel. Any additional funds exceeding our goal will be used to provide equipment for the team.
We thank you in advance for your support of our club!
