Kind AF Scholarship

Honouring the Legacy of Andrew Farrand

Andrew was a sweet, funny, wise, and kind 12-year-old boy who attended Tecumseh Vista Academy Elementary School. He was a best friend, brother, son, nephew, cousin, and grandson. Andrew lit up every room he walked into, and even while enduring leukemia, he remained thoughtful and kind each day.

The Kind AF Scholarship was created to honour Andrew’s life by supporting students who demonstrate kindness, compassion, and strength while navigating loss and/or illness.
