ZPF Evening for Good

February 22nd, 2025

About Evening for Good

The Evening for Good Gala Event continues to be a night to remember! 350 guests spent time learning about the Foundation’s 2023 impact and were the first to be introduced to our four new ZPF Scholarship recipients! Coach Niel MacDonald shared his inspiring story of resilience, and Chris Wyttenbach, Chief Program Officer of Athletes for Hope, shared how ZPF’s funding ($25,000 granted in 2023) helped expand the organization’s impact.

We nearly doubled the amount of money raised, from $180,00 at our inaugural event in 2023 to over $300,000 last year. As we look forward to our 2025 event in February, we invite you to partner with us by becoming a sponsor.

Our Impact

While we are a young foundation, we are proud of all that we’ve accomplished in the last 2.5 years. We’ve established 3 annual fundraising events which have allowed us to raise mental health awareness within the local community, invest money to support our mission, and award three scholarships to local high school students.

The Zac Plantz Foundation has also established partnerships with other non-profit organizations, including the U.S. Center for Mental Health & Sport and Athletes for Hope, to provide young people with opportunities to grow academically, socially, and spiritually as they set out to establish legacies of their own.
