I don't know if you have been following the incredible story coming out of Iowa the last few days, but it is truly heartwarming.
Carson King, an Iowa State graduate, attended College GameDay this past weekend, and held up a sign asking for beer money.
Carson was soon inundated with Venmo donations to help him with his need for Busch Light. When it got to be some serious cash, he reached out to his parents and they came up with a plan: to donate it to the Stead Family Children's Hospital at the University of Iowa.
Busch Light and Venmo have offered to both match the donations that are made. According to King's Twitter account, as of 9/19/19 at 1pm, he's up to over $90,000 in donations, not counting the match from Busch or Venmo.
**Update: 9/20 @ 7:45am: Total to up to $155,000***
King was the topic of SVP's One Big Thing last night.

This is incredible.
With all the donations my @CollegeGameDay sign for @BuschBeer has received, I will be donating all but enough for a case of Busch Light to @uiowa Children's Hospital. We're at over $1,600.00 right now! @CycloneATH @WideRtNattyLt @ChrisMWilliams Venmo Carson-King-25— Carson King (@CarsonKing2) September 14, 2019
A sign for beer turns sign of hope.@CarsonKing2 tells me the pledges to @UIchildrens have reached $35,000, which with matching funds from @venmo and @BuschBeer = $105,000, and counting. #CyHawkIf you missed the original @whohd story from @JustinSurrency, here it is. pic.twitter.com/cDJjrGgLVB— Keith Murphy (@MurphyKeith) September 18, 2019
