2 Friends f Buckeye Fencing Participating n the OSU Fencing Team played a very special rle in enhancing my cllege experience, it prvided life lessns which I cntinue t utilize in my prfessinal career and persnal life. What a great time it was t learn the imprtance f teamwrk, fcus, perseverance, time management, self-reliance and strategic thinking. Yet, many deserving yung men and wmen fencers will nt experience this because many universities arund the cuntry have drpped their varsity fencing prgrams due t a lack f financial resurces. We are frtunate that The Ohi State University deems it imprtant t keep the varsity fencing prgram, staffed with wrld-class caches, even thugh it is nt a revenue-prducing prgram. We can and must ensure this cntinues by supprting the fencing prgram with ur mnetary dnatins. Michael Bridy Senir VP f Crprate Affairs Schttenstein Stres Crp.

Being a member f the team enhanced my university experience and my life. Playing fr OSU was a great pprtunity fr this small twn Ohi kid. Cach Nazlymv has brught his expertise and his infectius spirit f excellence t ur University. He has recruited and develped hard-wrking, dedicated and intelligent athletes wh have made OSU s fencing prgram ne f the tp in the United States. This cach and this fencing prgram deserve ur supprt t cntinue their tremendus success, and t bring hnr t themselves, their supprters and the University.

Hwever, withut firm supprt arund them, like the right equipment, gd caches fr guidence, and financial aid... athletes can be left behind.
