LANCE members are constantly looking for ways share our culture with our fans and supporters. We are also a growing troupe in need of more weapons as our membership flourishes. We have come up with a fundraiser that combines our desire to share with our ambition to grow, and it’s called Sword for Hire.
Sword for Hire is a long-term, ongoing fundraiser that allows donors to help build LANCE's armory as we evolve as a community and performance troupe. You can choose from several weapon types and donate the price of the weapon (including a little bit extra toward its upkeep), thus adding another weapon to LANCE’s armory. In exchange, we offer you naming rights for the weapon and the ability to track its progress over the course of its life with LANCE.
Every year on the anniversary of your donation, we will send you a complete update on your weapon, including pictures, write-ups on any events it participates in, and quotes from the performers who wield it. If your weapon is damaged, we’ll let you know what what’s being done to repair it, and if--Merlin forbid--we are forced to retire your weapon, we’ll deliver the news to you as delicately as we can.
We even have a member of the troupe dedicated to recording the history of our armory, the Chronicler of Arms. Her name is Marissa Kraatz, and she doubles as LANCE's Documentarian, so you know she knows her stuff. No one is more excited to get this new fundraiser off the ground than Marissa, who believes in the important role Sword for Hire plays in enriching LANCE's culture (as well as bolstering our armory). Every new weapon added to our armory is another opportunity for our performers to learn and grow with the troupe, another combat performance that will surprise and entertain our patrons, another story for the Chronicler of Arms to tell. Who wouldn't be excited about that?

We hope you'll consider donating a weapon to the cause, but if you can't participate in Sword for Hire directly, that's okay! Help us out by sharing our posts on Facebook and telling your friends about LANCE Orlando! Thank you so much to all of our friends and supporters! We are the troupe we have become because of your tireless encouragement and kind patronage!
