Fence-a-Thon 2017

Capital City Fencers' Club presents the 11th annual Fence-a-Thon, a twelve-hour, overnight fencing marathon to benefit the BC Cancer Foundation. Events Scheduled: Mixed Epee Mixed Foil Mixed Saber All events close at 7pm, when fencing will begin. For this reason, fencers must choose only one weapon to fence before midnight - after midnight, you can fence anything you'd like! Each event costs $25 and all money raised will go to the BC Cancer Foundation to help support cancer care and research in British Columbia. Additional donations are gratefully accepted, and pledges from family and friends can be made here: http://donate.bccancerfoundation.com/goto/fence-a-thon. All donations in excess of $20 are eligible for a tax receipt. Your first Fence-a-Thon? Here's how it works: 7:00 - All events start fencing. All events are run mixed and fencers must choose one weapon for this part of the event. 12:00 (or when the last tournament ends): Midnight Feast provided by the fencers and families of CCFC 1:00am Start fencing again til morning!
