Football fan Carson King got more than enough money for a case of beer after holding up a sign with the request and his Venmo account info during ESPN’s College GameDay. King says he’s got $1 million that he plans to donate to a children’s hospital in Iowa.
After King’s request went viral, he received a flood of donations. Anheuser Busch and Venmo even donated to King. Now he says he has around $1 million to donate to the University of Iowa Steed Family Children’s Hospital, according to Fox News.
Even though he ended up raising money for a great cause, King says his mom wasn’t too thrilled with the idea of her son bumming booze money on live TV.
What is the coolest donation campaign you’ve ever seen online? Would you donate money to someone you didn’t know for a case of beer?
