Help Us Get Coach Jorge to Nationals ✈️🤺

The New Mexico Fencing Foundation is a small but passionate community, working hard to give our athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest levels of the sport. But being based in New Mexico comes with a real challenge—our fencers and coaches must travel much farther than most just to qualify for national competitions.

At the center of our program is Coach Jorge Chiquet-Castro, an internationally respected coach whose dedication and expertise have helped our athletes grow, compete, and believe in what’s possible—even from a small state.

Now, we need your help to keep that momentum going.

We’re raising funds to support Coach Jorge’s travel to national qualifying tournaments and major competitions. His presence is critical—he provides the coaching, strategy, and support our athletes need to compete against larger, better-funded programs across the country.

Your donation will directly help cover:
• Airfare and transportation
• Lodging during competitions
• Travel to qualifying events and nationals

For many athletes, having their coach there can make the difference between simply attending and truly competing.

If you believe that where an athlete lives shouldn’t limit how far they can go, please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Every contribution helps level the playing field for New Mexico fencers.

Thank you for supporting the New Mexico Fencing Foundation and helping our athletes chase their goals 🤍
