Morgan School Fencing Team Toy Drive

June 18, 2025

Shoutout to the incredible Morgan School Fencing Team in Clinton, CT, and their amazing coach, Jim Barnett!

This past holiday season, the team captains stepped up with a heartfelt idea: a toy drive to support pediatric cancer patients at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. With Coach Barnett’s support and the dedication of all 45 team members, the drive took off. Powered by social media, town-wide posters, mailbox flyers and even collaboration with other fencing teams, the drive was a huge success! Because of their compassion and hustle, the children in our cancer unit received joyful gifts.

We are so grateful for the Morgan Fencing Team’s generosity, teamwork, and commitment to making a difference. You inspire us!
