Kaiden

Kaiden Bavuso competed on the football, track, and wrestling teams at Oconomowoc High School. One of his coaches raves that he's “second to none when it comes to work ethic and paying the price for success” and an employer calls him “gracious, honest and kind.”

The son of Jason and Amy Bavuso of Ixonia is awarded $12,000 over four years with a scholarship from the Richard R. and Karen Bertrand Charitable Fund of the Oconomowoc Area Foundation. Kaiden has witnessed the pain of children dealing with cancer, so he will attend UW-Oshkosh to begin a career in nursing.
