| On Monday June 1st, we presented our second scholarship of the 2025-26 school year to Cayden Cloutier. I traveled to Moultonborough for our Moultonborough Academy recipient, and I must admit, this was extra hard. I saw familiar faces and places that Ayden knew and spent many of his school years. I tried to present my speech with poise and strength and fell to pieces instead. Ayden would understand. He would have also been so pleased with the MA recipient. Cayden Cloutier is again, not just an excellent student but also kind and selfless. His application reminded us so much of Ayden. Also, one of our measurements when picking the candidate was "connection to Ayden" that could come by way of simple things like being a gamer, family oriented or for our SC applicants, members of marching band like Izzy. Cayden is a Moultonborough resident, however his family is originally from Groveton where our families have known each other for generations. We are so proud of Cayden! He is going to UNC Charlotte studying sports medicine and we are hoping we will be able to spend some time with him when he's missing home and would like to see a semi familiar face. He is going to do amazing things and we are so proud to play a part. When we started this foundation we had no idea how much this would help us with our grief. To put this unimaginable pain to work for us, to change lives with kindness the way Ayden would want. Our hope is that the 2026-27 scholarships will include our own Groveton High school. Please help us make this bigger and change lives from the tip of the east coast all the way south. We will soon share how you can help us make this dream possible to ensure Ayden's memory is tied to something so big, and so powerful. We thank you all so much, for the continued support! |

| We are so proud to have given our first of two scholarships for the 2026 school year! Our recipient at York Comprehensive High School is Za'niyah Chisholm. Za'niyah isn't just an excellent student, she is kind, compassionate, selfless, and everything we had hoped for in a candidate. She will be heading to USC this fall where she will be studying exercise science to end up in physician assistant program. Not only is Za'niyah a wonderful young woman, her family is as well. We were honored to meet her amazing mom Sherale and learn more about their family which only made us more sure that we picked the best person to help carry on Aydens memory and what this foundation was created for. Ayden would be so proud right now. He would have picked Za'niyah, without a doubt. |
