An update posted on Damar Hamlin’s 2020 GoFundMe campaign said they are thankful for the “renewed support” for the fundraiser following his injury during Monday’s game.
“If you would like to show your support and contribute to Damar’s community initiatives and his current fight, this is the place to do so. This is the only current fund that is being used by the Hamlin Family,” the post said.
As of 2:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the GoFundMe had more than $4.4 million worth of donations.
The fundraiser was initially established in 2020 to support fundraising for Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation, the post said.
“However, it has received renewed support in light of Damar’s current battle and we can’t thank all of you enough. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us,” the update said.
Leigh C. Lehman, director of communications for GoFundMe, told CNN in an email, “I can confirm the update was posted on behalf of the family and we are in touch with their representatives.”
The foundation supports toy drives, back-to-school drives, kids camps and more.
