Zac Clark Hosts Annual Release Foundation Gala — See the Bachelor Nation Turnout!
Showing support.
Bachelor Nation met Zac Clark on Season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” and as fans remember, Zac shared his struggle with addiction and journey to sobriety with Tayshia Adams on-screen.
Since his time on the show, Zac has continued to share resources for addiction, mental health, and more through his company Release Recovery Addiction Treatment Center.
Last fall, Zac celebrated 13 years of sobriety, and now he’s taken to social media to share another major milestone.
The Bachelor Nation star recently hosted his annual Release Foundation Gala and raised over $600,000 in scholarship money.
He wrote, “⚡️$635,214.00⚡️all for scholarships for individuals to access high quality behavioral healthcare (substance abuse and mental health) that otherwise could not afford it. More important than the funds being raised is the community we are building and the stigma we are smashing. Come to one of our events to find out how we get down.”
How amazing!
Zac also shared photos from the event, which showed the support from Bachelor Nation stars Serena Pitt, Joe Amabile, and Blake Moynes.
Zac expressed his gratitude for everyone working in his foundation, stating they made the gala such a success.
He said, “Extra special thanks to our teams at @releaserecoveryfoundation and @releaserecovery your tireless commitment to helping others recover makes me want to work harder each day. I love our team. You made the 2025 Release Foundation Gala a success.”
Zac then ended his post with a word of encouragement for those currently going through recovery.
He said, “Keep Going. You are worth it and if you want to connect with us let me know!!!!”
Congratulations to Zac on an incredible event! We are so proud of his advocacy for those recovering from addiction, and we know his continuing to share his story will help so many others.
