Atlanta Fencers' Club Foundation Gala

The Atlanta Fencers’ Club Foundation is proud to announce its inaugural Gala, set to take place on October 18, 2024, from 6:30 to 10:30 PM at the Morehouse School of Medicine’s E. Ginger Sullivan Atrium and Pavilion.

The Atlanta Fencers’ Club Foundation is committed to making fencing accessible throughout metro Atlanta, regardless of socioeconomic status. Our gala’s primary objectives are to secure a new facility for our programs and provide young athletes with a supportive environment for growth. We aim to offer structured programming at a reduced cost, promote diversity in the sport, and foster a welcoming community where our fencers can thrive.
