In Zach's memory, our family is coming together to create a lasting legacy centered on something we believe is deeply important: making sure college students have someone and somewhere to turn when they are struggling with mental health challenges. Zach was a brother, a son, a passionate friend to so many, a student, an athlete, a hockey player, an avid sports fan, and someone who valued physical fitness.

We want to carry his spirit of teamwork, strength, and caring for others forward by creating an organization that helps make mental-health and suicide-prevention resources available to college students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our goal is to raise the initial funds needed to establish this organization and begin supporting colleges and programs that provide students with immediate crisis resources, prevention education, peer support, and connections to professional care. Every donation, regardless of size, will support us in turning Zach's legacy into an ongoing commitment to help students know that they are never alone.
