The Zachary Ryan Harris Foundation was founded in 2023 with a mission to harness the power of arts and culture education to serve as a catalyst for stronger community cohesion, connection, and collaboration while creating opportunities for artists and creatives of all kinds. We hope you’ll join us in building a legacy that celebrates the transformational impact of local arts and culture.
The outpouring of support from our local sponsors, players, friends, family, and volunteers helped raise over $40,000 towards our 2025 Youth Arts & Culture Education Scholarship Fund. We have built partnerships with Levitt AMP Springfield, Hoogland Center for the Performing Arts, Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Blues in The Schools w/ Illinois Central Blues Club, The Outlet, Music Therapy Connections, Fleming Academy of Performing Arts, Radiate Dance Company, and Dance Creations Dance Studio to provide free arts and culture programming to local area school districts and individual scholarships to kids enrolled in music, theater, and dance education workshops through 2026.
We are pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Zachary Ryan Harris Memorial Golf Outing & BBQ will take place Friday, June 19th, 2026. We ask that you consider sponsoring this year to support our 2026 Youth Arts & Culture Education Scholarship Fund. Your generous donation will help fund free arts and culture education for hundreds of students, as well as individual scholarship opportunities for under-served youth across the Springfield metro area.
