May 17 – Fences With Wolves
Mark your calendars for the fourth annual “Fences With Wolves” on Sunday, May 17 at DC Fencers Club. This is a Y10, Y12, and Y14 mixed epee event. Register on askfred.net.
This tournament is a fundraiser for the Wolf Project of the Yellowstone Park Foundation. Over the past three years, Fencers With Wolves has raised $15,000 to study the long-term impact of wolves, which were reintroduced to the Park’s ecosystem in 1995. The fundraising web site is here.
Participants may join the pack and seek sponsors as they battle for the title of Alpha Wolf. Sponsorship forms, allowing sponsors to pledge per point scored, will be emailed to preregistrants. All fencers receive a commemorative wristband, and there are wolf-themed prizes for medalists, as well as a prize in each age group for the fencer with the most sponsors.
Registration fee is $35 for preregistered fencers and $45 at the door. A portion of tournament fees will go directly to the Yellowstone Wolf Project. You can only register in ONE event.
Register on askfred.net and see you in the wolf pack!
