The Building Bridges Dinner & Auction is a time for the Zach’s Bridge community to come together with intention and joy - grounded in connection, reflection, and the quiet understanding of what it means to support one another through loss.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, we will gather for an evening centered around one of Zach’s favorite things: a shared meal. We are grateful to again be joined by chefs Dave Bazirgan (Uni, Faccia a Faccia) and Dave Becker (Sweet Basil, Juniper), whose care and craft help create a meaningful setting for this work. The evening will also include a thoughtfully curated auction in support of our mission.

At its core, this event reflects what Zach’s Bridge exists to do, offer one-on-one peer support to bereaved parents navigating the unimaginable. This year, we are continuing to grow that work, reaching more families who might otherwise feel isolated in their grief. Expansion, for us, is not about scale for its own sake, but about ensuring that no parent has to face this alone.

Your presence and support make that possible.

We hope you will join us.
