$25 from every “Superhuman Festival Pass” is directed into the Flash Foxy Scholarship Fund. On average, 20% of participants purchase a “Superhuman Festival Pass.” Additionally, a portion of our raffle proceeds and various merch fundraisers help to support this fund.

AMGA Affinity SPI Partner
As the first affinity program at the AMGA, the women’s SPI Course has a historical significance in spearheading these initiatives. This program was founded in collaboration with Flash Foxy, Brown Girls Climb, and American Alpine Club. Throughout the years, we have adapted to changes in partner’s capacity to support this program and we are excited to have Arc’teryx as a long-term partner.
In November 2022 we co-supported the AMGA Women’s Affinity SPI Course and Women’s Affinity SPI Assessment with Brown Girls Climb and Arc’teryx. The next course and assessment are scheduled for November 2023.
