Trail EAffect Episode 18 with Katie Zaffke – Paydirt Fund Program Coordinator for Santa Cruz
This episode first aired on January 28th of 2021 on Mountain Bike Radio
Santa Cruz first caught my attention years ago through their involvement with the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, and the other events they have been involved with that also included an aspect of trail work. Then in November of 2019 Santa Cruz rolled out the “Paydirt Fund”. This really caught my attention and I’m sure others as well. Afterall, how many companies are giving out One Million Dollars over 3 years with no geographical limitations, and very few other limitations. This brought me to Katie Zaffke who is the Paydirt Fund Program Coordinator. This is one of the most inspiring interviews I had the opportunity to take part in yet. Tune in to learn more about the Santa Cruz and the Paydirt fund.
