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.

Honors Peter Westbrook for his achievements in fencing and recognizes the Peter Westbrook Foundation’s work bringing fencing, academic support, and life-skills programming to low- and moderate-income, Black, and Latino youth in New York City. The resolution highlights the Foundation’s athletic successes, school-related outcomes (graduation, college attendance, improved test scores), and its role in increasing diversity in the sport of fencing.

This is a non‑binding, symbolic measure that expresses the House’s respect and recognition for Westbrook’s personal accomplishments and for the Foundation’s impact on underserved young people; it does not create new programs, change funding, or impose legal requirements.
