He earned a shirt from a company for picking up nails in his community.

Quarter-finals end tonight, May 21, 2026 at 11:00 p.m.

Everett has a passion for picking up trash. He has been helping his community in this way since he was two and now he is almost five.

Everett has a heart to protect the environment by reading books and sharing his knowledge with others. He also believes in hard work. For the past three years he has helped clean Center Springs Park. He has a heart to protect animals and is fearless to talk to adults.

At this point in the competition, he is really needing donated votes. He is underdog as most of the winners from the competition usually have expendable income.

Would you vote for this cute underdog? He could win a trip with Jeff Corwin, be featured in Ranger Rick Magazine, and win $20,000. The money would go to his future education as he has high hopes of wanting to build a robot to help with pollution.
