Cedar Wright Instagram – Dirtbag Fund Update! The Response to the dirtbag fund has been awesome and a bit overwhelming! First I’m excited to announce that I’ve drummed up some more support from @lasportivana who is going to be giving a free pair of climbing shoes to 6 lucky folks!… and @fixehardware who will be outfitting some first ascent dirtbags with bolts, @blackdiamond who is going to be hooking up tradsters with cams! Also 🙏to OGs @fattire and @thenorthface …. I’ve also raised enough money from generous individual donations to award more than 5 dirtbag grants…and am geared up for another round of grant applications some time this winter. If you want to donate, go to the link in my profile, or my website. All proceeds go to the dirtbags. With over 200 applicants, it is going to be impossible to spread the love to everyone, but I am going to take at least an additional 3k and spread it out to the dirtbag “losers” because it is impossible to narrow it down to 5 people! I will be announcing and posting content from the losers very soon, and then announcing the full grant recipients by the end of the month. Some of the winners are traditional dirtbags but I’m also spreading the love to the city and other worthy causes as well… all to unfold!! Going through all of the applications has been heartwarming and I’m happy to report that the dirtbag is not dead! At the heart the dirtbag fund is a celebration of climbing culture, of taking a less traditional path, of prioritizing experience over money. For me personally my dirtbag days of my 20s into my early 30s were amazing. If I can keep a couple young climbers on the road for a little longer, that brings a great big smile to my face. Anyways… sorry for the slow rollout, but it’s been a monumental task trying to decide who gets the cash! 👊❤️ | Posted on 14/Jun/2023 00:39:21
