Dear Friend & Co-Founder
We are family, friends and advocates who stand together and honor the life and spirit of Zac “Chunko” by making a positive impact in the areas that were closest to his heart. Our mission is built on the values Zac embodied—community, passion, resilience, and kindness.
Phase 1: Annual Event & Ongoing Community Support
Our annual event celebrates Zac and his love for skateboarding and music. This event brings together family, friends, and the community to remember Zac and raise funds to support our mission. The annual mini-ramp contest and live music features participants from various backgrounds, with proceeds benefiting our foundation and similar organizations.
Beyond the annual event, we will continue to support our mission year-round through donations, merchandise sales, used and new music / skateboarding equipment collection and distribution and supporting other like minded movements. This ongoing support will help fund our work, raise awareness, and further empower those in need.
Phase 2: Support Structures for Mental Health & Addiction
As we grow, we will expand our reach by offering resources and support for mental health, addiction recovery, and suicide prevention. By building a network of support, counseling services, and accessible resources, we aim to honor Zac’s struggles and ensure no one faces these challenges alone.
Future Prospects: Brick-and-Mortar Safe Space
Our ultimate goal is to create a physical safe space where the community can come together for support, resources, and programs. This will be a hub for mental health services, addiction recovery, and skateboarding programs—ensuring Zac’s legacy continues to inspire and empower
