Zack, who grew up in Needham, Massachusetts, was injured in a canoeing accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite his injuries, the Skidmore College graduate has continued to pursue his acting career landing guest starring roles on the Fox TV hit Glee and an upcoming episode of NCIS on CBS-TV (http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=aa6b656e-49b1-4c51-b9da-0e3b40d092cb).

Zack is the son of Adrian and Elliot Weinstein. The Weinsteins, longtime friends of Legacy principals Linda and Paul J. Mauro, inspired the couple to adopt spinal cord injury issues.

Says Paul J. Mauro, CLU, CHFC, Legacy president, "Our firm has really been energized by the success of Zack who, despite his injuries, never lost his drive to achieve his dreams. Everyone at Legacy contributes time and money and helps us make a difference to Zack and others who have huge mobility challenges."

Adds Legacy co-owner Linda Mauro, "Supporting individuals with spinal cord injuries and raising awareness has become a big part of our corporate culture and mission."

According to the Mauros, who live in Bolton, Massachusetts, Legacy Financial Advisors specializes in, "retirement planning for middle-class millionaires." The retiree groups Legacy serves have also helped raise funds by participating in large numbers at the annual Legacy Codger Cup golfing tournament. The latest Codger Cup event hosted members of Raytheon Retirees, Inc., The Verizon Pioneers, The GE Old-timers, The Digital Retirees, The Dec-ed Out Group, and recent retirees from EMC Corporation, Hewlett Packard and other corporations based in the Commonwealth.

To help make golf more accessible, Legacy Financial Advisors put a special golf cart into service last year for mobility-impaired golfers and brought onboard paraplegic golfer Jerry Donovan who serves as the firm's roving golf ambassador. Donovan regularly visits rehab centers and greater Boston golf courses to motivate other spinal cord injury sufferers. "The opportunity to get out again and spend the day on a golf course with friends is a giant uplift for those of us who thought they were out of the game," says Donovan, who can be seen golfing at: http://www.thebostonchannel.com/health/14213001/detail.html
