DONATE TO UNC FENCING

 

Your donations to UNC Fencing are essential to the continued success of our fencing program.

The Ron Miller

 Legacy Campaign is an effort to celebrate Coach Miller’s devotion to Carolina Fencing, and to help secure the future of the program by raising $2 million in endowed funds to be used exclusively to support the fencing program. MAKE A PLEDGE: https://give.unc.edu/donate?f=779855

The Giving Process: How it Works

Our annual budget is largely supplemented by the generous donations of our alumni and other friends of the Carolina fencing family! This is how it works:

Alumni and friends donate to our team by writing a check or money order to:
UNCAA
PO Box 2126
Chapel Hill, NC 27515
*Please specify “Fencing Special” in the Memo area of your check.

Your checks come directly to our office where they are copied, a deposit sheet made and delivered to the Athletics Business Office. The Fencing Special account helps boost Carolina Fencing immediately. The money is used to buy new equipment and uniforms, provide lodging and meal money for athletes on trips, pay entry fees to tournaments such as the Temple Open and the Penn State Open, and supplement our regular season budget for travel and expenses. It is also used to help us with recruiting talented student-athletes and providing assistant coaching salaries. Thank you in advance for your continued support to the fencing program.

Once your check has been processed, you will be sent a thank you from a member of our staff, as well as the incentive specified by your giving level. Giving levels are as follows:

Tar Heel $0-$100
Bronze Saber-$101-250
Silver Foil- $251-500
Golden Epee- $501-1000
Maitre d’Armes $1001+

COACH’S BOOK:
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE SPORT OF FENCING 

A compilation of information, ideas, skills, drills, and resources to improve knowledge, technique and results for the sport of fencing. Ron Miller, Ph.D., M.d’A., was the retired head fencing coach for fifty-two Years at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC.

Coach desired to help others better understand the intricacies of fencing. Please consider high schools, colleges, and clubs in your area and purchase books for your coaches, athletes, referees, critical fencing personnel, and a copy for yourself. 

Thank you for helping us spread his love for the sport of fencing. Susun and her children, Myah and Grey, have culle together files and pages of his beloved Excel files, charts, and drawings.  Thank you also to Keith Lander for assisting with that task. Gerhard Guevarra pulled together Coach elements for the cover. Chris Haga has been instrumental in cheering on Susun as the team worked through the emotions of this project. Susun and staff went through weeks of applying for a copyright and then building the final hard copy. We hope you will treasure it. This is meant to be a workbook. We hope you will use it, write in it, and share it with your fencing family. We appreciate your support.
