Matthew Kirby's Medical Expense Fund

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a member of our Dirtbag family. Matthew Kirby, 17 years old, lost his battle with Covid-19. His parents Joy and Stephen are also currently battling Covid as well. We are asking for donations to help offset the medical and memorial expenses for Matthew. All proceeds will be given directly to Matthew's parents. Please take a moment to read what some of Matthew's coaches have to say about their experience working with him.
