In that spirit of Ed, the Foundation fully funds scholarships for Study Abroad Programs for qualifying CSU, Fresno art students each year, as well as organizing what we affectionately call the Ed Spirit Weekend each October. This weekend was designed around two things Ed loved; The Hammer Road Rally, a serious cycling event in the Sierra Nevada, on the third Saturday of the month, followed by a Scotch, Brew & Art Affair at the Mad Duck, that third Sunday.
