The Brad Wait Foundation was founded in August 2017 in memory Bradley Bryan Wait, who lost his 31-month battle with brain cancer at the age of 42. A few weeks before Brad died, his old boss said, he would do a Golf tournament in Brads' memory. After the boss left, Brad said, "You be on top of that, Mom!"

The Brad Wait Foundation held 5 Memorial Golf Tournaments that supported NS Hospice, Camp Kerry (Lumara), North Shore Mental Health and WCKs (West Coast Kids with Cancer or Blood disorders).

The Foundation's current mandate includes raising funds via ‘online auctions’ to give scholarships to Grade 12 graduating students who have experienced significant hardship in their youth. Many of these applicants have lost a parent or sibling in their youth or have been raised by a single parent.

Our hope for the future is to continue supporting graduating students who have faced adversity, as they pursue post-secondary education.
