Hell Yeah PG (HYPG) and Carls Jr. raised $11,887 for six-year-old Nixon, who’s undergoing cancer treatment.
Nixon was diagnosed with a form of ear cancer, with treatments are anywhere from weekly to multiple days a week, and visiting a Seattle clinic in mid March.
HYPG Administrator, Amanda Holmes talks about the support for their month long daily auction.
“We just put the ask out on Hell Yeah, and we had dozens of businesses step up immediately and offered either a service or good, and basically the donations started to pour in.”
During a Saturday in March, 10 per cent of sales at Carls Jr. went towards fundraising for Nixon, which Holmes said they were all thrilled with how much was raised.
She noted that the All Weather Fools Athletics Club (AWFAC) will be donating $3,000.
The money was raised from the Over The Line Snowball (OLT) tournament held in February.
“Rallying behind these kids that are going through these very difficult times, and supporting their families is important.”
“I think as Hell Yeah Administrators, we’re all very grateful and blessed that we have the opportunity to support members of our community the way we can.”
The GoFundMe for Nixon is still taking in donations, and can be found here.
