✨ Help Us Build Great Humans This Give to Lincoln Day ✨

Today is the start of Give to Lincoln Day—and it’s your chance to make a real impact right here in our community.

At our nonprofit fencing club, we’re not just teaching a sport—we’re building discipline, confidence, resilience, and respect in every athlete who steps on the strip. Simply put: fencing builds great humans.

All month long, we’ll be highlighting the incredible coaches, fencers, and volunteers who have grown through our programs—sharing the real stories behind the impact your support makes possible.

Your donation helps provide scholarships, equipment, and coaching so every young person—regardless of background—has the opportunity to grow, compete, and thrive.

💝 Make your gift today and help us shape the next generation—one bout at a time. 🤺💪

Congratulations, Coach Josh, on GOLD🥇 in Vet-50 at the April 2026 NAC!!!

What a great night at the club! We traded our blades for the big screen to host a watch party for the official debut of the World Fencing League.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the world’s elite fencers face off in this high-stakes new format. There was energy in the room, with lots of cheering and a shared love for the sport that keeps us all coming back to the strip.

But as much as we loved the world-class action, the best part was the company. We are so grateful for this community. Seeing the club come together to relax, hang out, and support the growth of fencing reminded us why Lincoln Fencing Club is so special.

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and made it a night to remember!

It takes a village—and a lot of footwork—to build a community as strong as ours! 🤺✨

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the heartbeat of the Lincoln Fencing Club: our incredible volunteers.

Without your dedication, we wouldn’t be able to grow our athletes or maintain the wonderful community we all call home. We are endlessly grateful for:

• Our Coaches: Every single one of our coaches is a volunteer. Thank you for giving so much of your time, your heart, and your expertise to guide our students.

• Our Amazing Families: From looking after the kids to keeping our facilities in top shape, you are the unsung heroes behind the scenes.

• Our Fencers: A huge shout-out to the athletes who spend their free time helping facilitate tournaments and supporting their clubmates.

• Our Board Members: Thank you for navigating the ship and keeping everything running smoothly day in and day out.

We truly have a magical community, and we couldn’t be more grateful for each and every one of you. You make a difference! ❤️🖤
