Last March, the 11-year-old athlete and honors student just never woke up. Months later, his family discovered that Zach had Long QT Syndrome, or LQTS, an inherited electro-physiological disorder that can stop the heart without warning.

With the sudden loss, the Tompkins family set out to fulfill a dream of Zach's — building a stadium in Hudson, NH. Zach touched the lives of many in our community. Zach created a plate, similar toour logo, just one week before his passing.  After making it, he said, "One day I will own my own stadium."  

Now, we are making his dream a reality. The family has held several fund-raisers — including a golf tournament and the "Zach Attack 5K" — which have raised more than $180,000 over the last 10 months. The town of Hudson has generously donated 13 acres of land for us to build “Zach’s Stadium” on. This sports complex will include 2 football fields, a walking path, an ice skating ring in the winter and much more. We have also incorporated that it be mandatory that all head coach’s for football in Hudson be AED/CPR certified and our facility will always be AED equip. Once the stadium is built we will also offer free AED/CPR certification.
