Built to Fence will provide girls aged 6 to 13 with an inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and engaging introduction to fencing. This program aims to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to thrive in sport and beyond.

We are thrilled to announce our new blog series, 🌟Breaking Barriers: Women Who Lead🌟. Every month in 2025, we will highlight a woman leader who advocates for gender equity, believes in the power of sport, and continues to support and amplify the need to get more girls involved in sport and physical activity. These women have broken down barriers (and continue to do so), are leaders in their fields, and hope to leave an impact on their sectors. 💪🏽✨ We’re excited to kick off our series by chatting with Melanie Burns, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at TD! As a dedicated mentor and trailblazer, she’s shaping the future of sport by creating spaces where girls and women thrive🚀. Read her story via the link below! https://lnkd.in/gfswXBfP #FastandFemale #WomenWhoLead #RepresentationMatters #GirlsInSport #Leadership
