The OSU Fencing 100th Anniversary gala will celebrate OSU fencing’s rich history as well as pay tribute to the commitment to excellence, education and passion of friends and family of the program.

The event will feature a silent auction as well as a special award ceremony. The awards will honor the individuals who served as key contributors to the development of the program, engagement of the broader fencing community as well as recognize the pioneers that inspired future generations of Buckeye fencers.

All proceeds will help support the development of emerging athletes through participation in regional and national competitions as well as the pursuit of excellence for elite Ohio State fencers across all weapons, who aspire to reach their Olympic dreams.
