On Monday 19 October 2020, Whitu Cards & EduCard NZ from Otago Boys’ High School won awards at the 2020 Otago Regional Final of the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme.

The Whitu Cards team of Cameron Elliott (CEO), Cameron Moffit, (CFO), Joshua Leebody, Shaedon Miller, Bradley Ruddenklau, Joshua Friend and Walter Savage pitched their innovative Maori card game as did EduCard NZ with their Educational New Zealand trivia game.
