Rochester Area Fencing Foundation, Inc.
Rochester Fencing Club 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.
