Zac's Legacy Foundation
Zac's
Legacy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that has
been created to honor the memory of Zackery Allen Carlson, who in his short
life touched the hearts of all that knew him.
Zac, at the
age of 2 ½, passed away on February 3rd, 2000, after lengthy complications (Familial
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis) of the cancer treatments for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Zac's
parents, John & Sara, dedicated every possible moment to be with their ill
child. John & Sara were blessed to have family and friends to assist with
both time and money to allow them the freedom to be with Zac during a very
trying and, at times, heart-breaking ordeal.
John
& Sara were able to observe the financial burdens and hardships that come
from being dedicated parents. During the long stays in the hospitals with Zac,
John & Sara discovered there was a tremendous need for financial assistance
for the other families experiencing childhood cancer.
They
wanted to keep this memory of Love, Care and Sharing, and in this way Zac
continues to touch hearts through the Gift of Giving to those in need and this
has been the basis of Zac's Legacy Foundation.
Our
mission, simply put is “Providing financial assistance to parents enduring the struggles of
a dependent child while in treatment for cancer”
