DURHAM, N.C. – The 2020 season brought the start of the highly successful Fence for the Fight campaign in partnership with the Duke Cancer Institute.
With 1,215 wins this season in combination with pledging, the Fence for the Fight campaign totaled $30,144.55.
The campaign was launched by Duke fencing senior captains Eoin Gronningsater and Lindsay Sapienza in support of Elizabeth Beguinet's fight against breast cancer, the team's Director of Administration and Recruiting.
Elizabeth, the wife of head coach Alex Beguinet, is not just the team's recruiting coordinator, or travel coordinator, or seamstress for the uniforms.
