Today is for Zach!
We remember his life, which started it all, and the legacy that continues in his name.
Z’s spirit and legacy will be forever

Three-year-old Zayden is a funny, spirited little boy who loves bubbles and Bluey. He was recently diagnosed with medulloblastoma and is facing chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.

His mom is a single parent caring for Zayden and his siblings while navigating the financial challenges that come with his treatment. The family has moved in with her parents for additional support, and when their only vehicle recently broke down, getting Zayden safely to treatment became another worry.

Thanks to the generosity of our Big Z community, we were able to step in with support for essential bills and vehicle repairs, giving his mom one less thing to worry about so she can focus on Zayden and his care.

When you join us at Friends of Big Z Happy Hour on September 17 at Elke's Market Cafe, you’re doing more than enjoying a night out. You’re helping make it possible for Big Z to continue showing up for families like Zayden’s when they need it most.

Come connect with our community, learn more about the impact you make, and help us support the next family who needs us.

Meet the musician bringing the tunes to Friends of Big Z Happy Hour !

Bill Brooks has been playing guitar and singing since he was 18, performing with four different bands throughout his career. Along the way, his bands have opened for some incredible acts, including Pure Prairie League, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Michael McDonald, Smash Mouth, Spirit, and the Michael Stanley Band.

Bill still performs with his band, but in recent years he’s found a new passion for performing solo, spending his summers traveling through Colorado and New Mexico and playing breweries, wineries, and private events. His set list spans the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and today, so there’s a little something for everyone.

And on September 17, he’s bringing that music to Elke's Market Cafe for Big Z!

Grab some friends, enjoy live music, drinks and appetizers, and spend the evening connecting with the Big Z community, all while supporting families facing catastrophic pediatric illness.

Tickets are just $25. Come hear Bill live and be part of a great night for an even greater purpose!
