Taking off the Limits

Tax deductible
We Need Your Help!!!

We are  hosting our first annual "Taking Off the Limits" Fencing Tournament for individuals with Autism.

Gladius Athletic Foundation (GAF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating physical movement, and self-empowerment, while training special needs athletes in non-traditional sports.

Since 2017, GAF has been collaborating with Mychal’s Place to provide fencing instruction to their special needs teenagers and young adults. This experience and opportunity is giving them self-empowerment, sense of accomplishment and continuing self-advocacy. In other words, it has given them Super Hero abilities. And they are having a blast!

The students have been practicing very hard and are super excited to be competing in their very first fencing tournament.  Not to mention working hard towards achieving a medal.

We need the funds in place no later than September 28, 2018,  to arrange the end of this year tournament.  All proceeds will go toward providing the proper complete safety uniform, referees, bout table, equipment safety check, trainer, scoring equipment, fencing strips and products to host the fencing tournament.
