Three juniors from Staples High School in Westport -- Peter Klopfer, Jonah Bomback and Asher Vengrow -- have always had a passion for sports and trading cards.
"Those are just two things we've always just absolutely loved -- from a very young age," Peter said.
The friends started a trading card platform last year called "Cardz Against Cancer", benefiting the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale.
The platform has now exceeded their initial goal of $5,000, and they've set a new goal of $7,500.
'Everyone should do their best in life and I think by giving back and helping others in need, that's one way you can do it," Asher said.
Jonah said the experience has been "very gratifying."
"Seeing something that I love, and then seeing how it can create something so great in the world, is so rewarding."
