More Info Robert Reed Benefit Tournament Woodlands Fencing Academy: The Woodlands, TX posted 05/19/2015 More Info Robert Reed has long been a pillar of the fencing community and active member of both the South Texas and Gulf Coast Divisions. He is well known as a fierce competitor, but always the gentleman. Many a fencer experienced their first high level bout fencing Robert. He was always there for us, now its our turn to be there for him.



In 2012 Robert Reed was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure. Later that same year, he had a heart attack and had an angioplasty performed. He still had his job but these two events were a financial strain for him. Two months ago, his work hours were cut because of slow business and then six weeks ago,he got laid off from his job. He has been scrambling to get work and unemployment benefits and needs our help.



Because the fencing community is tight knit, we hope that you will plan to attend this tournament. Thanks to many volunteers, all proceeds will benefit Robert. We look forward to seeing you.



This will be a sanctioned USA Fencing tournament. All USAFencing rules apply. Full uniform required. Mask and glove check.
