Taking place on October 10th in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Day, we invite you to run, walk, or even stroll while pushing a little one to help support a cause Zac cared deeply about: men's mental health & suicide prevention.

In our commitment to continue writing the chapters Zac is no longer able to, we welcome you to register for the 3.1-mile event, tailor your fundraising page, then share its link with friends, family, & others in your network who would be interested in donating and / or participating.

HONORING ZAC'S LEGACY

On November 26, 2020, a foundation rose from the ashes of the tragic passing of Zachary Jacob Plantz.

In his short time on Earth, Zac made an indelible mark as a son, brother, mentor, friend, and, above all, a shepherd. He was a natural leader, not because he took up the mantle from the front, but because he gathered people who risked being left behind and carried them with him.

Many people were cared for and inspired by Zac, and we continue to draw on his strength and love to fulfill our own potential.

The Zac Plantz Foundation is devoted to solidifying his memory through Zac’s greatest life passions: faith-based education, leadership & service, and health & wellness. Zac shepherded a huge, diverse flock, and by taking up his mantle, we will continue to honor his memory through our care for others.
