Football fan Carson King was at ESPN’s College Game Day when he held up a sign asking for enough money to cover a case of beer, and displaying his username on the payment app Venmo. After he received a flood of donations into his Venmo account, he decided to take that money — along with matching donations from Anheuser Busch and Venmo — and donate it to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

On Saturday, he told “Fox & Friends” he had accumulated more than $800,000 for charity. “So, right now, with matched contributions, we’re over $822,000,” he said.

Before receiving the influx of cash, King admitted his mother wasn’t too impressed about his stunt. King, on Saturday, said she was initially hesitant about him requesting beer money on national television.
