Denver Fencing Foundation is bringing fencing to Denver area schools through after-school enrichment programs, camps, field days, and other outreach events. We want inspire athletes to competition and keep kids active in sports programs throughout their entire lives. Many of our worthy athletes have fenced local, regional, national level competitions and international competitions!

The United States has only won 3 medals in Paralympic fencing history. The foundation is raising money to promote parafencing and develop athletes who can compete at all levels of competitions including the Paralympics. Many people with disabilities do not have the funding to compete nor dedicated space to train at their sport. In 2020, DFF has partnered with United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee to create a dedicated space inside the center of the Denver Fencing Center. This World Class training center has let the DFF athletes to dominate at USA Fencing National events.

The foundation has created a comprehensive program that provide scholarships to people with disabilities. Denver Fencing Foundation also supports competitive athletes with equipment, entry fees, and some travel costs.

As part of our mission of “Fencing for All,” Denver Fencing Foundation has partnered with DPS Adaptive Physical Education, Revel and Stepping Stone to bring fencing to neurodiverse individual adults. We have had huge success with this program and the individuals we work with on a regular basis. Our goal is for fencing to join the ranks of current sports at the Special Olympics.
