Your kind and generous donations helped send a team of 11 fencers to Denver Regional Open Circuit Tournament on April 25-27! Everyone had a great time, learned and improved a lot.

Four more fencers qualified in Denver for the Summer National tournament, making ten fencers from BFA who have qualified this year.

Our TRIFOLD Mission:

Create Access- by making fencing affordable for those in financial need.

Financial barriers prevent many in our communities from participating in sports, and fencing is no exception.

Donations fund outreach activities for underserved populations through:

School demos and classes
Youth camps and programs
Scholarships

Fencing is such a positive community, there are so many good role models. I have learned how to pick myself up from failures and keep trying smarter and harder until I succeed.” -- BFA Fencer

Promote Parafencing- by Ensuring fencing is accessible by funding parafencing programs.

Physical ability need not be a barrier to participating in the sport of fencing.

MFF is working with organizations in the community to offer parafencing classes.

Donations support parafencing by:

Providing equipment
Reducing training costs
Funding travel opportunities

Support Montana Athletes- by Assisting Montana fencers with the costs of training, travel, and competitions.

Fencers in Montana face unique challenges. Competition means travel, with expenses beyond the reach of some athletes and their families. Travel for training and tournaments is an integral part of achieving competitive fencing goals so the MFF funds opportunities for athletes pursuing goals of sporting excellence, including NCAA recruiting and Team USA.
