GoFundMe For UNC Heroes Who Protected Fallen Flag Ends With Insane Amount Of Money

The GoFundMe for the UNC heroes is over, and it raised some massive stacks of cash.

A group of North Carolina students went viral for protecting a fallen flag on campus from an anti-Israel mob. It was an incredible moment, and a great reminder there are plenty of great young Americans out there.

In response to the frat bros holding the line, a GoFundMe was established to throw them a massive party. Well, something tells me the party is going to be insane.

GoFundMe for UNC students closes with insane earnings.

The GoFundMe closed at the start of Friday morning, and it ended with a staggering $516,672 raised to throw the young men the party of a lifetime.

That's roughly 25,800 cases of Miller Lite for the young heroes. Yeah, I think that should get the job done a few times over.

There are very few moments when it feels like most people are united around a common cause. I think it's safe to say this was one of those moments.

America watched the brave group of UNC students protect Old Glory from a rabid mob that wanted to destroy it. We watched the young men hold the line as they were hit with many different objects.

Yet, they didn't back down. They protected the flag against overwhelming numbers. Now, they have more than $500,000 coming their way to throw an awesome party. Whether it was a $5 donation or Bill Ackman's $10,000, people are showing their appreciation. It's great to see.

I have no idea how this party is going to play out, but we might have to send OutKick to be on the ground for it because I have a feeling it's going to be awesome. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
