Born from a deep love and a commitment to ensure that
Kaeden's spirit lives on, our foundation is a testament to resilience, passion, and the enduring impact of a young life. In this haven of hope, we invite you to join our journey—a journey sparked by
the letter that resonated with grief, turned into determination, and ultimately led to the creation of the Kaeden Brown Foundation.
Explore the beginnings that define our mission and how you can be a part of the lasting legacy we aim to build.
The purpose of the foundation is to enrich the lives of secondary school students through post secondary scholarship(s), as well as supporting the younger children in the community through sports programs and educational equipment.
The Kaeden Factor ensures a continuous investment in the youth of our community, making a lasting impact. This term captures the essence of all the remarkable achievements made possible by the collaboration of our community and corporate allies. Together, we celebrate the Kaeden Factor—a symbol of positive change and shared commitment to a brighter future for our youth.
Together, we honour Kaeden's memory and build his legacy with compassion, generosity, and community support.
This year, the Kaeden Brown Foundation (KBF) proudly announces our commitment towards a $250,000 donation earmarked for the upcoming Lambton Shores Community School, set to commence construction in 2024.
The new school, located adjacent to the Shores Recreation Centre, will merge students from Aberarder Central School, Bosanquet Central School, Kinnwood Central School, and North Lambton Secondary School. Additionally, graduates from East Lambton Elementary School, Grand Bend Public School, and Hillside School will commence Grade 9 at this modern educational facility.
Not just a school, this initiative includes 24 new childcare spaces, incorporating a two-room Child and Family Centre and a one-room childcare facility. This comprehensive approach aligns with KBF's mission to support education and families within our community.
We're currently gearing up for our 15th-anniversary celebrations, featuring the eagerly awaited golf tournament and the vibrant "wildman's" birthday celebration.
Join us at Widder Station for Kaeden's Birthday Party, featuring a lively evening filled with a live auction, silent auction, a sumptuous dinner, and the captivating melodies of the Cory James Mitchell band.
Widder Station and Arkona Fairways will host an unforgettable double shotgun golf tournament, welcoming 300 of our cherished friends and family.
In 2019, Brian Schoonjans, a close friend of the Brown family, approached Cory James with an idea for a project. Brian, a member of the Kaeden Brown Foundation, shared the story of Kaeden Brown, a vibrant 7-year-old known for his zest for life and an infectious, inspiring energy.
Brian envisioned a tribute song for the 10th anniversary of Kaeden's passing—a composition to honor his legacy while providing solace for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
This song would serve as another avenue for Kaeden's enduring spirit to touch and positively influence others.
We want to thank Cory, his band and everyone that had a hand in creating such a beautiful song for Kaeden. We find it hard to believe that someone that had never met Kaeden, could write a song so fitting as "Wild Again".
Empowering futures, nurturing dreams, and inviting you to live your zest for life—our non-profit initiatives are dedicated to creating a brighter tomorrow together.
