Despite the snow and icy conditions in Kansas City, the fencing-specific service organization DoGood made a lasting impact this weekend. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City hosted an inspiring fencing demo, where Coach Emilia Ivanova introduced the sport to a group of enthusiastic kids.
While the weather prevented some families from attending, the 10 participants who made it had an incredible experience and many expressed a strong interest in learning more about fencing.
Even better, local organizations like LINC and the Boys & Girls Club are now exploring ways to bring fencing to their youth programs, giving more kids the opportunity to engage in this amazing sport.
A big thank you to everyone who braved the snow to make this event a success.
