In this episode, we’re excited to talk about the Fencing the Gap (FTG) initiative, a powerful movement designed to bring more diversity to the sport of fencing. Now in its third year, FTG is a collaboration between USA Fencing and All Kids Play, with a mission to get more BIPOC individuals, women and girls, and people with disabilities involved in fencing. FTG offers some amazing programs to help make this happen:

• GRACE Program: Provides financial help to fencers and families facing unexpected challenges that make it tough to compete nationally.

• Community Impact Fund: Grants for clubs that offer fencing in underserved areas, with a focus on supporting coaches from diverse backgrounds and giving potential athletes, who may not have had the chance, the opportunity to fence.

•
