For 16 hours, we’ll be fencing nonstop to shine a spotlight on the power of sport to transform lives — and to raise funds that help kids across Denver discover fencing, build confidence, and belong to something bigger.

Matched Donations — thanks to the Daniels Fund, every donation you make that day will be matched, doubling the difference we can make together.

Let’s keep the blades moving and open more doors for youth in our community!
