If there is any money left over, they should put up a billboard for him in BR

I posted this on the other Board for the Fiesta Bowl and just saw this one - great job. We need to get in touch with each other. GKTW is the route to go since they totally spoil all the children and the villas are setup for families. Make a Wish is great, but they usually can't do last minute requests. I can get him into GKTW and get the tickets taken care of assuming my post below is met. It also means no lines for the family and 1st in line to meet the characters.

Does anyone know if he’s already been to Disney through Give Kids the World? If not, I can get him set up to stay there which is much better for families and also get the Disney tickets taken care of. Not sure how GoFundMe works, but it will not take near 8k to get them there if we can use GKTW, thus, enough money left over for Fiesta.

You need to talk to the OP or RussellSheppardsPie. They have both been in touch with Drake’s mom and could probably get you an answer. I believe there’s an email for the OP on the gofundme page.

My kids keep asking when we're going to go back to Disney....... As if it is a rite of passage for them to go multiple times throughout adolescence. I'm going to involve them with this.......not only are there some children out there whos parents can't afford to take them to Disney....... But there are situations like this where a small contribution can help a family and a child experience something that they will never forget and hopefully flood this child with joy

God bless you and your family Drake!
And God bless your LSU extended family and even the ole miss, bama, and other fans who have contributed too!

I emailed the Fiesta Bowl PR Office with a link to the Go Fund me page. Maybe they can do something for him. I suggested maybe he could be present at the coin toss!

That’s perfect and thanks for ur help!

They are “huddling” in the morning to see what all they can do, and gonna let me know on our call tomorrow! I suggested tickets and field passes...they all but confirmed that, but also said to give them their time in the morning that they’re excited to get started on this and that they’re gonna do the best they can for him. I’m so amazed at how quickly and eagerly they jumped on this grassroots good ole boy never fundraised a dime effort lol!

GEAUX TIGERS GEAUX DRAKE!!!
