Peter Westbrook Foundation promo

In 1991, with the overwhelming support of many, including tennis great Arthur Ashe, the Peter Westbrook Foundation was launched by the legendary Peter Westbrook—winner of the Bronze Medal in Men's Sabre event at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Long considered the "chess of sports," Peter recognized fencing's potential as a vehicle for developing life skills in inner-city youth.

By participating in the Foundation's programs, kids not only learn how to be good winners and losers, but also how their actions directly influence the results they achieve. They learn to evaluate their attitudes about themselves and others, overcome fears, think strategically and solve problems.
