Althea Haropulos is a Freelance Corporate & Public Relations Photographer by trade, celebrating 30 years in business this year.
In addition, for 20 years Althea has been very involved in the world of Olympic-style Fencing. Over the years, she has taken lessons, competed, and helped manage tournaments and operations at the Concord Fencing Club.
This Olympic year, Fencing will be in the international spotlight. Althea has qualified to compete in 3 events at the USA National Fencing Championships this summer in Dallas, Texas June 29 - July 8. Financial assistance is required to make it possible for her to attend. Sponsorships from her friends and family will be a big help.
From Althea: "Work demands and caring for Mom at home have kept me from going to a National Championship since 2009. This year, I dedicated time and trained hard with the goal to qualify to go to Nationals. I accomplished my goal by fencing in a national event in Baltimore last December and then locally in my Division Qualifier this spring. Fencing is a great sport that one can do for a lifetime. It is physically demanding and also engages your brain with tactics akin to chess."
Funds raised will be applied to event registration fees, transportation, equipment, and meals. No hotel is required due to the generosity of a friend.
The National Championships will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas. The events are free and open to the public, so if you are in the Dallas area June 29 - July 8, come and watch. A detailed schedule will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
