Edward, Nicholas, Ethan, and Nathan are 4 friends who are enthusiastic fundraisers and have raised over $35,000 for charities since 2018!   

Edward started fundraising in 2018 with a small neighbourhood lemonade stand to raise money for Sick Kids and Milton Hospital to earn a Beaver Scout Badge (the North Star Badge) for helping the community. That badge is the top award for Beavers. Of course, his brother Ethan helped, and friends Nicholas and Nathan wanted to help too. Ethan started his big fundraiser to earn his North Star Badge 2 years later, choosing McMaster Children's Hospital so he could help other kids having chemo treatments, like himself, and Camp Ooch/Trillium, a camp for kids with cancer.
