Recognizing the significant global impact and legacy of Peter Westbrook in the sport of fencing in the United States and the work that he has done to improve the lives of underserved and vulnerable youth.

This resolution (HRES 758) recognizes Peter Westbrook's legacy in fencing and the work of the Peter Westbrook Foundation. It highlights how the Foundation provides free fencing instruction, academic support, and life skills to underserved youth in New York City - serving 85% Black or Latino youth, 49% girls, and 77% from low-income families. The resolution notes the Foundation's proven outcomes: 100% high school graduation, 95% college attendance, and 17 alumni who competed in the Olympics, including Lauren Scruggs, the first Black U.S. woman to win an individual Olympic fencing medal.
