the ​zach Young
​Memorial scholarship


​​As the sons of RED Arena Founders, Jennifer & Dave Young, Zach & Josh grew up helping at RED.  From clearing rocks in the pastures, mulching trails, cleaning pens, feeding horses, side walking, horse handling, being camp buddies, recruiting friends to volunteer at Round-Up,  rebuilding San Marcos and building Dripping Springs the Young Boys have been involved in every part of RED.  
DONATE in memory of Zach
Growing up with the kids at RED inspired Zach to want to become a neurosurgeon and genuinely try to make a difference helping people, especially kids with neuromotor impairments.  In 2021 over $100,000 was donated in memory of Zach for participant scholarships.  Read more about Zach
