Rochester Area Fencing Foundation, Inc. has recently been approved for 501c3 status

Fencing, one of the original sports in the Olympic Games since it's modern inception in 1886, is a unique and fast growing sport. Athletes, parents, and people involved in fencing have always commented on the sport's ability to teach individuals about self assurance, patience, respect, and personal and social responsibility. The newly formed 501c3, RAFF, is a part of the dream to use fencing as a vehicle to bring these types of qualities to the leaders of tomorrow within the communities in and around the city of Rochester.

If you would like to make a donation you can send a check to Sue Clinton at the Rochester Fencing Club, 777 Culver Road, Rochester, NY 14609. Please make the check out to RAFF and make sure to include your name, address, and contact number so we can send you your tax deduction information.
