About Zac Plantz Foundation

On November 26, 2020, a foundation rose from the ashes of the tragic passing of Zachary Jacob Plantz. Zachary "Zac" Plantz was a Frankfort, IL native graduating near the top of his class at Providence Catholic High School. He was an all-state football selection and went on to earn a degree and become a rugby stand-out at the University of Notre Dame. He began his professional career in consulting, and, like everything else he did, found success in solving clients' biggest problems while building an expansive professional network. At 25, Zac walked away from consulting to pursue his true passion, public service. He started building a name for himself in Chicago politics, working on local and state campaigns with plans to attend law school. These career moves were steppingstones toward Zac's ultimate life goal--to build a better city, a better country, and a better tomorrow for everyone he encountered along the way. In the six years leading up to his death, Zac extended his attentiveness and passion to mental health advocacy. He single-handedly raised over $145,000 for the Movember Foundation in 2020, an organization dedicated to improving men’s physical and mental health. Zac was committed to fighting the stigma surrounding men's mental health and used his Movember fundraising as a platform for raising awareness and encouraging vulnerability as a sign of strength. Our foundation seeks to further Zac's efforts -- shepherding the odd-man-out, empowering others to be forthcoming about their struggles, and championing faith-based education, leadership, and mental health & wellness.
