About Zack's Team Foundation
Zack’s Team Foundation was founded as a public charity 501(c)(3) in 2014. A 100% volunteer and grassroots organization, the mission is simple. We are dedicated to providing families and individuals struggling with alcohol and substance abuse disorders with support, resources and financial aid so that they are given the opportunity to extend their recovery beyond in-patient treatment. Substance use disorder is the number one public health crisis in the US. After losing our dear Zachary, we realized that we needed to take action by breaking our silence and putting a face on this devastating disease.
Many people fail to realize that substance abuse is a disease. It takes over one's mind and body. Substance abuse stifles the growth of an individual both physically and mentally. It becomes a lifelong battle and it is almost impossible to win the battle alone.
Zack's Team uses 100% of its proceeds to send individuals to treatment. We believe in a 12 step based approach but we also understand that this approach doesn't work for everyone. Individuals find sobriety in their own way.
We are committed to helping individuals overcome the disease of addiction. We are also committed to spreading awareness and reversing the stigma that is often associated with those that suffer from this debilitating disease.
However, we cannot accomplish our goals alone. In the last five years, we have helped almost 200 individuals get the help that they so desperately need.
We rely heavily on you for support whether it be mentally or financially. We hope you will continue to support us. We are grateful to you for without you none of this would be possible.
Scholarship Fund
Zack’s Team provides scholarships for sober living to young adults between the ages of 18 to 30.
In order to receive a scholarship from Zack’s Team you must go to detox, if medically necessary, and then spend 2-4 weeks in a holding or an in-patient treatment program. If you do not need a detox you must be willing to complete 2-4 weeks in a holding or an in-patient treatment program to be eligible. If you are applying from detox or holding remember to leave a contact name and their phone number. We will conduct an interview prior to providing a scholarship.
Please note if you voluntarily leave detox, holding or an in-patient treatment center and are trying to enter sober living from a
shelter or your home, we will not be able to provide a scholarship.
Because our funding is limited and the funds provided to scholarship an individual reduce Zack’s Team Foundation’s ability to help other willing and committed applicants, we ask that you exhaust all other resources including family, friends, church and community.
We are committed to: Saving our Families, Saving our Friends, and Saving our Future.
