Pete Proimos created the Raleigh-based nonprofit F Pete Proimos created the Raleigh-based nonprofit Filotimo Foundation to provide financial support & fertility assistance for adults living with cystic fibrosis. The foundation takes its name from a Greek word that means, “to give without expecting anything in return.” But Proimos says his goal in starting the foundation was less selfless than “selfish.” He was diagnosed with CF as an infant and still experiences complications of the disease. Growing up, he was told not to plan for anything 10 years out. Today, the 41-year-old Raleigh resident, college graduate, and busy parent of 3 leads Filotimo, partnering with nearly 60 hospitals and over 150 fertility clinics nationwide and has given away about $1.8 million in grants, with a hope of reaching 75 percent of the approximately 40,000 American adults living with Cystic Fibrosis by the end of the year.

Meet @weirs.ig, a Triangle folk music collective t Meet @weirs.ig, a Triangle folk music collective that gathers singers & instrumentalists for otherworldly takes on traditional tunes. "On their 2nd album, Diamond Grove, Weirs covers some of the most familiar tunes from the traditional folk music canon. There’s “Lord Randall” and “Edward,” ballads made famous by American folk revival legend Jean Ritchie; the African-American spiritual “I Want to Die Easy” + two versions of the “Doxology.". Yet this still might be the most unusual folk record you’ll ever hear. Along with ambient noises typical of field recordings, it also has water dripping onto a grate, looped samples and mind-blowing distortion. One of those “Doxology” versions was recorded through an iPhone for a warped, otherworldly effect, punctuated by the faint sound of dogs baying in the distance. This mindset extends to the band’s name, Weirs, after the low barriers that direct the flow of a river," writes @ncdavidmenconi in our April issue.📸 @chajbo + @rodeo_walrus
