Louisville Fencing Center

The sport of Fencing inspires confidence, teamwork and good sportsmanship. 

LFC needs your help to provide low-cost or no cost athletic opportunities to underprivileged youth and youth with varying exceptionalities to get them active,  improve their well-being and open up academic and professional possibilities that would otherwise be unattainable to them. 

Scholarship Program

Fencing is the number one sport for college scholarships, but some of the children that need it the most don't have access to train or compete because of financial limitations.

With your help, LFC can begin their training, underwrite the cost of their equipment, and competition fees to help them achieve their utmost potential and help them get all the way to college.

The money you donate today can forever change the life of a child in need!
