On Friday, November 29th, we invite you to honor Zach Berlin – our son, grandson, brother, and friend – through the Thanksgiving game he loved so much. Every year, Zach looked forward to playing football with his friends, finding comradery in the game and the spirit of competition. This year, we come together again, as his friends and family have done each year, to celebrate his memory and the community he cherished. This tradition has grown, just as Zach’s legacy lives on, bringing all of us closer together.

This year, our game supports, the Friendship Circle's UMatter program, which shines a light on nurturing mental health and wellness. UMatter is about finding your place and knowing that you belong – that you’re a piece of a puzzle that wouldn’t be complete without you. Just as Zach touched so many lives, this program builds connection, courage, and hope, helping each person feel seen and valued. Together, we carry Zach's legacy forward, building a community that lifts each other up and reminds us all that we matter. His presence is missed so much!

This year our goal is to raise $6,000 for the amazing UMatter program.We appreciate your donation to this important cause. ! Please share this link far and wide to help us get our message out there: tributes.friendshipcircle.org/berlinbowl
