Have you spoken to the family? People have been asking who you have contacted to ensure the funds are going to the proper people.

Please don't be insulted, but may I know how you are getting the money to them?


The Voice of the Tigers Chris Blair was the voice of Georgia Southern for ten years and would certainly have connections there who could assist in the delivery of the donation.

Nice of you to take this on.

I read somewhere that one of the kids is a cheerleader for GSU which may be one reason they traveled to the game other than normal fandom.

Sad for the kids.


Update: I found a cheer roster for GSU and their son, Matt Hagan is on the squad. Another lead that can put you in touch with the family.

Great to know this.. I was going to call LSU or GSU to help me but I’ll start with Blair for sure.

Great info- I didn’t even know their names yet to be honest. Thx

Children are Matt, Madison and Josh.

You can find them via their mom's facebook page.

I don't want to step into your game but the kids are still young.

I would do some digging to see if GSU or someone else is setting up a fund or a trust or something for the Hagan children and contribute the $ you raise to that.

Depending on how much money you raise, it might not be a good idea to give a young person lump sum cash.

Maybe there will be a bank taking donations for the Hagan children. I've seen this in other donation situations.

Hi there!

Georgia Southern fan here. I've been following the board for a few weeks, but haven't posted yet.



Just wanted to say thank y'all so much for doing this. I shared it with one of the close friends of the family, so hopefully she or someone will reach out (likely via GoFundMe). Everyone is in shock over this. It's absolutely heartbreaking, especially since they were so close to home when it happened.


Thank y'all again for the amazing hospitality this weekend. Definitely a venue I'd like to visit again!

Would not be surprising if Chris Blair knew them as it seems they traveled to most away games and obviously involved with the school along with having their three kids there as students.

Mick, if you want to email me, I can get your contact info to the family friend I shared this with.

She is a fellow cheer mom and was one of the people who went to be with the kids on the night of the accident.
