Such as Breast Cancer, Autism, Down Syndrome, Aids and other cancer's.

How did we come up with Evan?

The owners of Natures Paradise was given Jenny McCarthy's book about her life with her son Evan and his autism. The Grandmother of the owner of Natures Paradise was a nanny for 3 autistic children for over 10 years. As a family, they all wanted to understand these children more.The owner and his wife read the story of Jenny McCarthy and of her son in her book "Louder than Words" , Evan, the battle over his Autism. It touched their hearts so dearly  it made them want to do more for those in need. They decided to give more of their time and resources to different charities helping both children and adults who are in need of comfort, research for a cure or help in medical needs. They decided the best way to get awareness for their company efforts to raise money for these foundations would be through a mascot who would attend many charity events and play with the children, run the races and support the ill. They decided on a Panda since their baby Hand Sanitizer has a panda and it's their number one selling item. When deciding on a name they thought of no other then Evan since he was the one who opened their eyes to the needs of the world and of children.
