March 1st was the deadline for the Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Grant.
However, we will accept additional proposals until MONDAY, APRIL 3rd at 5pm.
The details for the grant, due dates etc. are located on the AAC website. (See
below for the specifics). The award this year will be $2,500 and we will be
less concerned with high end alpine objectives and more focused on the
humanitarian component of the grant . Both the alpine and humanitarian
objectives must be met. If you are not interested but know somone that might
like to apply....PLEASE forward this email.
Zack Martin received several grants from the AAC, Anatoli Boukreev and others
but he was never satisfied with only physical exploration. He wanted to explore
the people, their customs and their hearts in an attempt to "give something
back"......to...... "break barriers". This makes the grant unique and a most
honorable cause.
