Isis Washington's Journey to Tokyo 2020
Donation protected
Making an Olympic team is the pinnacle of any competitive athletes' career. It is my dream and goal to compete as a member of the 2020 US Olympic Team. My name is Isis Washington and I have been fencing since ninth grade, was 1st Team All State during high school, the 2015 NCAA Women’s Epee Champion (the first African American Women’s Fencing Champion for St. Johns’ University) and, currently a proud representative of Team USA Women’s Fencing. I have spent many years and thousands of hours preparing for this time.
In order to make my dream a reality, I need your help. I will need to spend many hours preparing with my coach and personal trainer and will travel both domestically and internationally in order to qualify for the team. There are 4 National Tournaments, 5 World Cups and 3 Grand Prix remaining this season. The expenses associated with training and competing exceed $35,000 annually.
I work part-time and volunteer coach the youth at the Peter Westbrook Foundation Saturday Program in New York City. I also work mentoring young women in the fencing community.
My life's goal is to start an academy that caters to children from underrepresented communities with special talents. The program would provide resources to support a top tier education and help the student achieve their dreams whether it be in the arts, sciences, or athletics. I believe you should always give more than what you receive. The reward is so much more meaningful.
Thank you for your generous support.
