Mission Statement

The mission of the NOFF is to utilize the sport of fencing as a vehicle to develop life skills for physically disabled and disadvantaged people to include but not limited to disabled veterans and service personnel; people from underserved communities; and young people with learning disabilities or social challenges in the Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast area. NOFF will provide financial and operational assistance.

Description

Our organization is a small non-profit organization which is run by a three person volunteer board. We are all fencers and hope to share the sport we love with those less fortunate than ourselves.

We help individuals participate in fencing programs and tournaments. We hold or participate in various adaptive sport events to allow people the chance to see if they would like to join a fencing program or just to have some one-time fun. We have given demos to LSU Occupational Therapy Clinic, VA Recreation Clinic, various health and wellness fairs for disabled and disadvantaged people, SpinaBifida family picnic and summer camp, just to name a few. We also hold an annual Wheelchair fencing clinic which is attended by locals and out of town people as far as Ohio.
