The Big Z Foundation is a filed and approved 501c3 corporation established in 2018 in memory of Zach Hoefler who died from a brain tumor (pilocytic astrocytoma). In their journey with Zach at Dallas Children’s Medical Center, the Hoefler family witnessed an incredible need for the assistance of families with children diagnosed with serious pediatric illnesses. It is important for families to feel loved and supported during this difficult time. It is from that vision that the Big Z Foundation was created.
