Timbuktu Challenge Benefit Competition

The Last Responders are a team of four enthusiastic adventurers taking on the 2011 Timbuktu Challenge, a 4100 mile, three week long charity rally. Two of them, Stephen Jan and Dennis Liaw, are fencers. On December 16th, 2011, teams from all corners of the world will gather in Devon in the UK, to begin the long and arduous drive through Europe, North Africa, and the Sahara desert. Destination: Timbuktu! Teams that manage to survive the harrowing journey and cross the finish line intact will donate their vehicles to benefit local worthy causes. The Last Responders will be donating an ambulance to a local hospital in Mali. For more on the Last Responders team and the Timbuktu Challenge, visit http://www.lastresponders.org.

On Saturday, November 5th Brooklyn Fencing is hosting a foil open in support of the Last Responders. All proceeds go to support the team's journey and their fundraising efforts for local Malian charities. Registration and more info >


Call for entries
The Metropolitan Division has earmarked a portion of our annual budget for the promotion of fencing in the division. We invite any division member or member club to submit a proposal for a project to be funded by the division during the 2011-2012 season. Projects must be clearly and specifically outlined, with particular regard to logistics and funding justification. Entrants should also include a description of their qualifications to run the project and the expected outcome/benefit to fencing in NYC.

We encourage you to think outside the box and help fencing become more visible! It might be as simple as helping you pay for some fencing flyers to hand out at your school, or as complicated as helping fund NYC public schools' introduction of epee (which the Division did last year).

Proposals are due to by 8/1/11. Proposals will be discussed at the next division meeting; funded project(s) will be announced on the website.
