BARBARA LYNCH ANNUAL CHARITY

REGIONAL YOUTH CIRCUIT

December 22 and 23, 2007

Escrime International and Valhalla Fencing, with sponsorship by NJFA (New Jersey
Fencing Alliance), are proud to present the Barbara Lynch Annual Charity
Regional Youth Circuit Tournament, with funds raised going to support The
National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and the Lynch Family. Come out, fence, and
support Barbara Lynch and NOCC, and have fun at what will be a great event.


Barbara Lynch is a well known figure on both the local and National fencing
arena that has given tirelessly to sport and is well known as an advocate for
youth fencers. Barbara was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer last year and underwent
treatment which led to remission but recently found out that more treatments
were necessary. We feel it is time for her to be honored and thanked for her
work on behalf of the youth fencers and hope you feel the same.



This is a charity event and as such all participants will receive proper
paperwork verifying their charitable donation. Parents or business that would
like to donate products or services for the silent auctions please contact
Darlene Shellhouse at deeshellhouse@...





Tournament Features

** Goodie Bags for the fencers that include Patch and T-Shirt

** Silent Auction

** Prizes for Top Finishers



We are also raising money to purchase Barbara her own Lifetime Membership to the
USFA. We feel with the amount of dedication she has shown and the other
concerns she faces, the last thing she should worry about is if her membership
is up to date. If you chose to donate to this fund please follow the link below
or visit www.escrimeinternational.com/barbara/barbara.html.
