RIGHT TO PLAY “En Garde” Charity Cocktail Party at Barneys: A Smashing Success for Charity and Fencing
May 14, 2010
The fencing community and its friends flexed their muscles tonight at the Barneys Penthouse raising upwards of 15,000+ dollars for the Humanitarian organization Right To Play as New York State Governor David Patterson, Nigel Barker, Serge Timacheff , Olympic coach Yury Gelman and fencing legend and Olympian Peter Devine joined 150+ guests to enjoy fencing photography and cocktails.
Governor Patterson spoke to the crowd, along with Right To Play COO Jeffrey Orridge and hosts Matt Doyle, Jason Rogers and Tim Morehouse. All of them addressed the importance of sports for children’s development and the need for resources in underdeveloped countries so that children can play and learn. Right To Play teaches kids in impoverished areas life lessons via sports and provides children who might not necessarily have it with sporting equipment and coaches. (www.righttoplayusa.org) The money raised will go to help thousands of children in countries around the world.
The night was also special to me because of the strength displayed by fencing. 150+ guests paying $150 dollars a ticket to enjoy fencing photography! Imagine how many people we can get with live fencing ? The answer of course, is that this be the first of many events I plan on doing to help raise money for good causes while simultaneously promoting fencing. I have some big projects in the works to hold spectator/sponsor friendly tournaments in New York City where we can draw thousands of paying spectators and get sponsors behind it.
It’s not even a question of can we get people to watch fencing and companies to sponsor it. It’s going to happen and it’s happening now.(Speaking of which, I still have a big sponsorship announcement to make soon!) For now, a nice victory for a good cause and a score for the sport of fencing.
PS Also in attendance tonight were Daria Schneider, Mike Etropolski and my mother and father! (Mom bid on 3 of the photographs and won! Thanks Mom!)
Thank you to everyone who helped make tonight a smashing success! And to everyone who continues to work towards helping good causes and growing our small, but mighty sport. Make room world…the fencers are coming!

From Nigel:
It’s not every day you get to meet an Olympian athlete… let alone four! Last week, I shot the US Mens Olympic Fencing Team for their involvement with Right To Play, an international humanitarian and development organization that uses sports as a tool for children’s physical, social and intellectual development.

Fencing Meets Fashion Again. A Photo Shoot with Antonio Azzuolo Clothing and Photographer Phil Moy
March 29, 2010 
Ahhh, back to work promoting fencing…
Had the pleasure of working with Photographer Phil Moy and stylist Cristian Mendez this evening. We were shooting a story on the synergy of fencing and fashion with Fall 2010 clothing from Antonio Azzuolo.
The threads were very fun and cool. Here are a few outtakes from the shoot and will keep you posted when the real pictures are published! I’m also kind of excited because later in the week I’ll be doing a shoot with my Beijing teammates James Williams, Keeth Smart and Jason Rogers with celebrity photographer and America’s Next Top Model judge, Nigel Barker.
Should be fun!
Olympic Silver Medalist Tim Morehouse and Jason Rogers Hit the Town for Fur-Free Night of Fun with the Humane Society of the United States and the Art Institutes
November 13, 2008
Jason and I with Nigel Barker Photographer and Judge on America's Next Top Model
The Humane Society of United States in collaboration with The Arts Institutes threw their fourth annual “Cool vs. Cruel” ceremony at the Bowery Hotel on Wednesday evening. In addition to celebrating fur-free fashion and treating guests to the eclectic sounds of DJs Albert Hammond of the Strokes and supermodel Agyness Deyn, the event honored the winner of the national animal-friendly fashion design competition (Gohar Rajabzadeh). The participating designers were in attendance along with other notables such as, Nigel Barker, Richie Rich, Marc Bouwer, Jay McCarroll, as well as your very own Olympic Medalists Jason Rogers and Tim Morehouse! We had a great time for such a good cause! We got to chat with Nigel a bit and learned that he had actually done fencing back in his school in England. I’m always surprised by how many people have fenced! I think its way more than people realize. I’ve never been much into fashion, but am starting to really appreciate the art form. The outfits on display tonight were really amazing and we got to chat with some of the designers who proudly displayed their awards for winning the animal-cruelty free design contest. The place was a packed house and it’s really good to see that even with the economy that most of the fundraisers are full.
