Thundercat Meets Olympic Fencers

Olympic Fencers Tim Morehouse, Daryl Homer, and Jeff Spear came to Chicago this week to promote Fencing in the Schools, a non-profit foundation that is working hard to bring fencing programs to elementary and middle school students in inner-city schools in New York and Chicago.

Skyler Jackim, co-captain of the Thundercats women’s fencing team, attended a fundraiser at the Evanston Golf Club to hear Tim Morehouse speak and to watch Jeff Spear and Daryl Homer fence a 15 point sabre bout.   The event raised over $14,000 to help buy fencing equipment and train PE teachers on how to teach fencing in Chicago schools.
