The Yury Gelman Foundation's impact goes beyond introducing fencers to the sport. It also helps dedicated athletes, like longtime fencer Maia Chamberlain, reach new heights.

For Maia, that support included funding travel for her coach during her journey to the Olympics, helping ensure she had the coaching she needed along the way. Help us support the next generation of fencers. Visit the link in our bio to learn more about the Yury Gelman Foundation and how you can donate. by @manhattanfencing
