Meet the Founders
Izaya & Sunny — the unstoppable siblings behind Team Wenes.
Izaya Wener
Founder, Dreamer, Doer
Age: 12
“I started Team Wenes because I believe kids aren’t just the future — we’re the now. I want to raise millions for cancer research and prove that one voice can make a difference.”
Izaya has led fundraising campaigns, designed cookie drives, and built a school ambassador program from scratch. His goal? A cancer-free future, built with compassion, action, and a lot of heart.
Sunny Wener
Co-Founder, Joy-Maker, Light-Bringer
Age: 10
“I love baking, dancing, and helping people smile. When we sell cookies, we’re not just raising money — we’re spreading love for the people we miss.”
Sunny has been part of Team Wenes since day one. His bright energy fuels the campaigns — from Valentine’s Day cookie sales to the Shining Light Wall. He believes kindness is the most powerful form of activism.
“We do this for our grandfather and grandmother. For the people who are still fighting. And for every kid who believes their voice matters.”
