Zach Bonner and Lazydays share a passion for helping at-risk children. In 2007 Zach, the founder of the Little Red Wagon non-profit organization met with the Lazydays Employee Foundation, a not for profit corporation funded by weekly payroll deductions volunteered by the employees of Lazydays. Realizing their missions were the same, Lazydays and the Lazydays Employee Foundation vowed to help Zach in his quest to help homeless children.

Since his first walk in 2007, Lazydays and its employees have supported Zach by providing him with a Class A motor home to house Zach and his family on each of his walks. "I owe it all to Lazydays," claimed Zach upon being asked how he felt, "without them believing in me and helping me I never could have done it, Lazydays is like family to me."
