I'm pretty sure this is NOT what the average college kid would do in this situation. Most full-fledged adults wouldn't be this generous either . . .
ESPN'S "College GameDay" was in Ames, Iowa this past weekend. And as always, there were a ton of fans in the background holding up homemade signs.
One of them was a student named Carson King, who had a sign that said, "Busch Light Supply Needs Replenished." Then it listed his information, so people could Venmo him. And it worked.
@CollegeGameDay @KirkHerbstreit @davidpollack47 @MariaTaylor @ESPNCFB I turned my gameday sign for @BuschBeer into a fundraiser for @UIchildrens. We’re at over $5,700.00! #ForTheKids @CycloneATH pic.twitter.com/NeSmj8rGm3

Within minutes, he had hundreds of dollars in his account. And by Monday, it was up over FIVE THOUSAND BUCKS. Which could buy him a whole lot of Busch Light.
But instead of keeping the money or throwing a party, he's DONATING it.
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

He called in to a radio station in Des Moines and said he's buying one case of beer. But the rest of the money will go to the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.
He's keeping his makeshift fundraiser going the rest of the month. If you want to help out, just Venmo him at Carson-King-25.
